GROCO BP-3 Poly Basket - 2.6" x 7.3"

The GROCO BP-3 Poly Basket is a replacement strainer basket engineered for saltwater and freshwater fluid intake systems. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant polyethylene, this 2.6" × 7.3" basket is designed to protect pump and engine cooling systems by capturing debris before it reaches critical components. The improved handle design provides secure grip during maintenance operations, reducing the risk of dropping the basket during service intervals.

Built to GROCO specifications, the BP-3 poly basket accommodates a range of pipe sizes from 1.9 to 3.1 inches in diameter and measures between 5.2 and 18.3 inches in length, making it compatible across multiple strainer models. The polyethylene construction resists the corrosive effects of saltwater environments, marine fuel additives, and extended UV exposure—critical for vessels operating offshore or in harsh coastal conditions. Unlike metal baskets prone to rust and galvanic corrosion, this polymer design maintains structural integrity over thousands of operating hours with minimal maintenance.

This replacement basket fits GROCO ARG-1000, VD-1000, and 932-1000 strainer models. Marine technicians, boat owners, and commercial fishing operators rely on poly basket replacements to maintain consistent water flow and engine protection without the downtime associated with corrosion failure. Weighing just 0.2 lbs, the basket is lightweight enough for frequent inspection cycles while rigid enough to handle the mechanical stresses of high-flow systems.
