The 5” 14mm Male 45° Monark Color Shower Head Ash Catcher is a compact glass add-on made for smokers who are tired of scrubbing their main piece every other day. Built around a colorful showerhead perc in a 5 inch (127mm) body, it keeps ash and gunk in the catcher instead of your bong, while adding extra diffusion and a bit of personality to your setup.
If your favorite rig has a 45° 14mm female joint and you want cleaner water, smoother pulls, and less time with the cleaning brush, this ash catcher is a plug-and-play upgrade that just works.
Why You’ll Actually Use This Every Day
- Cleaner main piece, way less often — Acts as a first line of defense, trapping ash and debris before it ever hits your bong’s base.
- Smoother, cooler hits — The showerhead perc breaks smoke into smaller bubbles for extra diffusion and a gentler pull.
- Easy match for common setups — 14mm male joint with a 45° angle plays nicely with a ton of standard water pipes.
- Compact but effective — 5 inches (127mm) tall keeps things balanced without turning your rig into a top-heavy science project.
- Adds a pop of color — The colored showerhead section makes your setup look more dialed-in instead of just “add-on glass.”
- Protects your investment — Keeping grime out of your main piece helps preserve percs, joints, and overall function over time.
Best For
This ash catcher is made for daily drivers who want cleaner function without babying their glass. If you’re the type who hits the same piece all week and hates watching the base water turn tea-colored halfway through the day, this is for you. It’s also clutch if you already run a mid-size rig or tube and want an extra layer of diffusion without buying a whole new piece from the smoke shop products section.
How to Use It
Using this ash catcher is simple: plug it into your 14mm female 45° joint, make sure it’s sitting level, add a little water to cover the showerhead slits, and you’re ready to go. The smoke or vapor travels down into the showerhead, gets broken up through the perc, and then flows into your main piece already cooled and filtered.
Because this is an extra water chamber, it adds just a bit of drag—but in a good way. You’ll notice hits feel smoother and your main rig’s water stays noticeably cleaner, even after a long night of passing it around on a dab mat.
For cleaning, let the ash catcher cool, dump the dirty water, then rinse with isopropyl alcohol. For deeper cleans, give it a soak in ISO, rinse well with warm water, and let it dry before you throw it back on your setup.

Fit & Compatibility
This piece is built for 14mm female 45° joints, which you’ll find on a lot of classic-style bongs and smaller rigs. If your piece has a 90° joint or a different joint size, you’ll need a different style ash catcher or an adapter to make everything line up.
Because it’s only 5 inches (127mm) tall, it won’t usually make your setup feel awkward or front-heavy, but if your main piece is super tiny or super thin glass, just be mindful of how you set it down. If you’re running silicone as your daily driver, this ash catcher can still be used as long as the joint matches, and you can pair it with one of our durable silicone bongs & rigs for a combo that’s both colorful and hard to break.
Why a Showerhead Ash Catcher?
Showerhead percs are a sweet middle ground: more diffusion than a simple open downstem, but not so complex that they’re a pain to clean. The slitted disc design spreads smoke evenly through the water, which helps with cooling and filtering without clogging as easily as some micro-slit or stacked designs.
On a practical level, that means you get smoother function and your main rig or bong doesn’t take the beating. The ash catcher collects most of the heavier particles and buildup, which is way easier to soak and rinse than deep-cleaning your whole piece every time it starts looking rough.

FAQ
- Will this fit my bong or rig?
If your piece has a 14mm female joint at a 45° angle, you’re good. If it’s 90° or a different joint size (like 10mm or 18mm), this specific ash catcher won’t line up correctly without an adapter. - Can I use this for both flower and concentrates?
Yes. It’ll catch ash from bowls and also help keep reclaim and residue out of your main piece when you’re dabbing. Just be aware that if you swap back and forth often, you’ll want to clean it more regularly. For dab setups, pairing it with solid dab tools keeps your whole station feeling dialed in. - How much water should I put in it?
Add just enough to cover the showerhead slits when it’s sitting in its normal position. Too much water can cause splashback or extra drag; too little and you won’t get proper diffusion. - How do I clean it without risking breakage?
Let it cool completely, dump any old water, then add isopropyl alcohol and gently shake or soak. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it dry before reattaching. Avoid super hot water right after heavy use to reduce thermal shock on the glass. - Will this make my setup feel too heavy?
At 5 inches (127mm), it’s fairly compact, so most medium-sized pieces handle it just fine. If your bong or rig has a really small base, be a little extra careful setting it down so nothing tips—especially if you’re running a heavy bowl or banger on the front. - Is this better than getting a more complex perc piece?
It depends what you’re after. This ash catcher is a quick, affordable way to upgrade diffusion and keep your main piece cleaner without buying a whole new tube. If you’re buying new glass anyway, you might combine this with a good main perc and some proper glass jars & packaging to keep your flower and concentrates fresh between seshes. - How should I store or travel with it?
Treat it like any other glass accessory: padded case, bubble wrap, or a protected box works well. If you’re packing up the rest of your stash in storage & packaging options, just make sure the ash catcher isn’t loose where it can knock into heavier items.
If you’re trying to stretch the time between deep cleans on your favorite piece while getting smoother, more filtered hits, this 5” Monark Color Shower Head Ash Catcher is the kind of upgrade you notice on day one and then never want to take off your rig.
