It's a nice piece of glass, sturdy and would probably work for certain pieces, but what I received appears to be longer than what is in the pictures. Instead of a short piece of glass with a 45 degree bend, it bends nearly 90 degrees and is longer than I expected. If you were to put it in a vertical female downstem, it will point horizontally back at the pipe or out forward, making it impossible to use a bowl or other pre-cooler. Sadly, that doesn't work for me, but I suppose I'll hang onto it in case I find a use for it on another piece someday.
