GROCO BP-12 Poly Basket - 3.1 x 11.9"

The GROCO BP-12 Poly Basket is a corrosion-resistant replacement strainer basket engineered for use with GROCO raw water intake systems. Measuring 3.1 inches in diameter by 11.9 inches in length, this polyethylene basket is designed to prevent debris, sediment, and foreign material from entering raw water cooling lines on marine and offshore equipment. The improved handle design provides secure grip and easier extraction during routine maintenance or emergency cleanouts.

Constructed from durable polyethylene, the BP-12 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to metal alternatives, making it ideal for saltwater, brackish, and freshwater environments where rust and oxidation would compromise performance. The basket's open-weave design maintains effective flow rates while capturing particles that would otherwise cause blockage or equipment damage. This spare part is specifically engineered to fit the ARG-3015 intake system and is compatible with piping configurations within the 5.2 to 18.3 inch length range and 1.9 to 3.1 inch diameter specifications established by GROCO engineering standards.

This replacement basket is essential maintenance inventory for vessel operators, marine engineers, and facilities managers relying on GROCO cooling systems. Regular basket inspection and replacement prevents restriction buildup, maintains system efficiency, and extends the operational life of pumps and heat exchangers. The lightweight design (0.3 lbs) facilitates easy installation and removal without requiring specialized tools or equipment modifications.

GROCO is recognized throughout the marine industry for precision-engineered intake and cooling system components that meet demanding saltwater performance requirements. The BP-12 Poly Basket maintains the same material standards and dimensional tolerances that have made GROCO products preferred by commercial fishing fleets, military vessels, and offshore platforms.
