Understanding ROOR® Joint Sizes
Choosing the correct accessory for your ROOR® starts with understanding joint sizes. Whether you're replacing a bowl, upgrading a downstem, or adding new accessories, knowing your joint size helps ensure proper fit and performance.
What Is a Glass Joint?
The joint is the connection point where accessories such as bowls and downstems attach to your glass. Modern ROOR® pieces use precision glass-on-glass joints designed for durability, airflow, and secure fitment.
The Most Common ROOR® Joint Sizes
The two most common joint sizes found on ROOR® pieces are:
- 14.5mm Joint
- 18.8mm Joint
These measurements refer to the diameter of the glass joint where accessories connect.
14.5mm Joints
14.5mm joints are commonly found on smaller and medium-sized ROOR® pieces. They offer excellent airflow while maintaining a compact design.
18.8mm Joints
18.8mm joints are often found on larger ROOR® pieces and collector builds. The larger opening allows for increased airflow and compatibility with larger accessories.
Male vs Female Joints
Understanding whether your piece uses a male or female connection is just as important as knowing the size.
- Male Joint: Inserts into a female connection.
- Female Joint: Receives a male accessory.
Most ROOR® bowls use a male connection that inserts into a female joint on the piece.
Why Proper Fit Matters
Using the correct joint size ensures:
- Proper airflow
- Secure accessory fitment
- Optimal performance
- Reduced risk of accidental damage
Before Ordering Accessories
Always verify:
- Joint size (14.5mm or 18.8mm)
- Male or female connection
- Downstem compatibility
- Accessory specifications
