GROCO BP-2 Poly Basket - 1.9" x 7.2"

The GROCO BP-2 Poly Basket is a replacement strainer component engineered for use with GROCO's line of seawater and freshwater intake systems. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant polyethylene, this basket provides reliable debris filtration in marine plumbing applications where salt spray, galvanic corrosion, and particulate contamination present ongoing challenges. The BP-2 is sized at 1.9 inches in diameter by 7.2 inches in length, making it compatible with the ARG-750 and SA-750 strainer models.

Unlike metal baskets that oxidize in marine environments, the polyethylene construction resists corrosion from saltwater exposure while maintaining structural integrity under pressure differentials common in through-hull intake lines. The improved handle design facilitates removal and cleaning without requiring specialized tools—a practical consideration for routine maintenance aboard vessels where quick access to strainer internals is necessary. GROCO's poly basket design accommodates the mechanical stress of periodic backflushing and chemical cleaning cycles that extend system service life.

This replacement basket suits boat owners, marine systems technicians, and offshore operations personnel who maintain GROCO intake systems on vessels of all sizes. Whether managing engine cooling intake, galley fresh-water supply, or auxiliary systems, the BP-2 provides a straightforward wear item that extends the operational lifespan of the parent strainer housing. Original-equipment replacement baskets ensure flow rates and filtration performance match design specifications.

GROCO strainers are a recognized standard in marine plumbing, used across commercial fishing, recreational boating, and naval applications. Stocking genuine replacement baskets—rather than universal alternatives—ensures compatibility and eliminates the risk of dimensional mismatch that can compromise seal integrity or allow bypass.
