GROCO BS-24 Stainless Steel Basket f/SS-1250 & BVS-1250

The GROCO BS-24 Stainless Steel Basket is a direct replacement component engineered for the SS-1250 and BVS-1250 marine strainer systems. This basket addresses known design limitations from earlier BVS series models while delivering corrosion-resistant performance in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments where reliable filtration is critical to engine and system longevity.

Constructed entirely of stainless steel, the BS-24 basket resists oxidation and pitting that can degrade standard steel components when exposed to marine conditions. The redesigned geometry improves debris capture and flow characteristics compared to superseded models, reducing maintenance frequency and protecting downstream equipment from particulate contamination. Compact dimensions (3 x 3 x 10 inches) and lightweight construction (0.4 lbs) ensure straightforward installation within the existing strainer housing without requiring additional brackets or modifications.

This replacement is specified for vessel owners, marine mechanics, and equipment managers running GROCO strainer systems on recreational or commercial watercraft. Owners of SS-1250 and BVS-1250 units experiencing performance degradation or holding components past their service life benefit from this engineered upgrade. GROCO's focus on marine fluid management makes this basket an OEM-quality alternative to original components, with the documented design improvements that address earlier model complaints.

Compatible exclusively with SS-1250 and BVS-1250 strainer assemblies, the BS-24 serves as a direct bolt-in solution requiring no cross-threading or adapter parts. Stainless steel construction aligns with marine industry standards for corrosion management in saltwater cooling systems, hydraulic circuits, and fuel filtration applications where material compatibility directly impacts system reliability and service intervals.
