GROCO BS-1 Stainless Steel Basket - 1.9" x 5.2"

The GROCO BS-1 Stainless Steel Basket is a precision replacement component engineered for raw water strainer systems aboard marine vessels and industrial applications. Crafted from 304-grade stainless steel, this 1.9" x 5.2" basket delivers reliable sediment and debris filtration in saltwater and freshwater environments where corrosion resistance is non-negotiable. Operators and marine technicians rely on GROCO's filter baskets to maintain consistent water flow and protect downstream equipment from contamination.

This basket features an improved handle design that enhances ease of removal and installation during routine maintenance cycles. The 304 stainless steel construction resists pitting and stress-corrosion cracking in harsh marine environments, significantly extending service intervals compared to lower-grade materials. The compact footprint—measuring 1.9 inches in diameter by 5.2 inches in length—fits standard GROCO raw water strainer housings without modification, allowing technicians to perform filter changes quickly with minimal system downtime.

Marine engine cooling systems, deck wash systems, and industrial intake lines benefit from regular basket replacement to maintain peak strainer efficiency. The BS-1 is the preferred OEM-equivalent choice for boat owners, shipboard engineers, and maintenance professionals who demand durability in corrosive saltwater applications. Installation is straightforward: simply access your GROCO strainer housing, remove the old basket using the handle, rinse the housing, and insert the new BS-1 basket.
