GRAV 14mm Glass Cleaning Plug

To use the GRAV Glass Cleaning Plug, remove your bowl piece from the 14mm female joint on your water pipe. Insert the cleaning plug into the joint where your bowl normally sits, ensuring it fits snugly. Add your preferred cleaning solution or isopropyl alcohol to the water pipe chamber. Hold your finger or thumb over the plug to keep it secure, then gently shake your water pipe to circulate the cleaning solution. The plug prevents solution from spilling out through the joint opening. After cleaning, remove the plug, rinse your piece thoroughly, and dry completely before use.

Yes, the GRAV 14mm Glass Cleaning Plug serves a dual purpose as both a cleaning tool and an airflow cork. For water pipes with two female joints, insert the plug into one joint to block airflow completely through that opening. This forces all airflow through the remaining joint, which can be useful for certain smoking techniques or when using specific attachments. Unlike cleaning applications where you must hold the plug in place, when using it as an airflow cork it stays secure on its own. The borosilicate glass construction provides a reliable seal without degrading over time.

The GRAV 14mm Glass Cleaning Plug is compatible with any water pipe, bong, or bubbler that has a 14mm female joint. This is one of the most common joint sizes in the industry, found on medium to large water pipes. The 14mm male plug fits securely into 14mm female openings, creating the seal needed for effective cleaning. If your water pipe has an 18mm or 10mm joint, you’ll need a cleaning plug in the corresponding size. Check your water pipe’s joint size before purchasing – the joint diameter is typically specified in product descriptions or can be measured with a ruler.

GRAV uses premium borosilicate glass for the 14mm Cleaning Plug because this material offers superior durability and chemical resistance. Borosilicate glass withstands repeated exposure to isopropyl alcohol and cleaning solutions without degrading or developing cloudiness. It’s also resistant to thermal shock, meaning it can handle temperature changes without cracking. The material is non-porous, preventing bacteria growth and ensuring the plug itself is easy to clean. Borosilicate glass maintains its clarity and structural integrity through countless cleaning cycles, making it the ideal choice for a reusable cleaning accessory that will last for years.

Clean the GRAV 14mm Glass Cleaning Plug by rinsing it with warm water after each use to remove fresh cleaning solution residue. For deeper cleaning, soak the plug in isopropyl alcohol for 15-20 minutes, then scrub with a brush or cloth if needed. The borosilicate glass construction means you can clean it the same way you clean your water pipe – no special care required. Rinse thoroughly and dry before storing. Since this plug is exposed to cleaning solutions regularly, it typically stays clean through normal use. Store the glass plug in a safe place where it won’t roll off surfaces or get damaged when not in use.

One GRAV 14mm Glass Cleaning Plug is sufficient for most users with standard water pipe collections. However, some situations benefit from multiple plugs. If you own the GRAV Menorah Bong or other pieces with multiple joints, you may want the 7-pack bundle to plug all openings simultaneously during cleaning. Having a backup plug is also practical in case one breaks or gets misplaced. For users with extensive glass collections including multiple 14mm pieces, having 2-3 plugs lets you clean several water pipes in sequence without waiting to rinse and reuse the same plug. Consider your cleaning routine and collection size when deciding quantity.
