Measuring 1.9 inches by 5.2 inches, this basket is sized as a drop-in replacement for strainers using this basket format, making it a straightforward maintenance part for boat owners performing routine strainer cleaning and upkeep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed of plastic, the BP-1 basket is built to resist corrosion in marine environments, unlike metal mesh baskets that can rust or degrade over time in saltwater or brackish water service. The open-top design allows for easy access when removing the basket for cleaning, so debris can be cleared out without disassembling the entire strainer housing. Keeping a spare on hand or swapping a cracked or clogged basket helps maintain steady raw water flow to onboard cooling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Groco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e BP-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strainer Basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 inches x 5.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith Lid:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.10625 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 742985174955\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Groco BP-1 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco BP-1 is a plastic strainer basket used inside a thru hull strainer housing to catch debris, sand, and weeds before raw water reaches a boat's cooling system pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the BP-1 strainer basket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BP-1 measures 1.9 inches by 5.2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the BP-1 basket made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of plastic, which resists corrosion in marine water compared to metal mesh baskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the BP-1 basket come with a lid?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Groco BP-1 has an open-top design and does not include a lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the BP-1 basket weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BP-1 weighs 0.10625 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean the BP-1 strainer basket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BP-1's open-top design allows it to be lifted out of the strainer housing so accumulated debris can be rinsed or knocked out, then reinstalled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the BP-1 a genuine Groco part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the BP-1 is a genuine Groco manufacturer part number, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the plastic basket crack over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic construction on the BP-1 is chosen for corrosion resistance, and replacing a cracked or clogged basket is a normal part of strainer maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the BP-1?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BP-1 order includes one Groco poly strainer basket, sized 1.9 inches by 5.2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy replace a strainer basket instead of the whole strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e If only the basket portion is cracked, worn, or missing, replacing the BP-1 basket alone restores debris filtering without the cost of a full strainer housing replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49033324265691,"sku":"GRO-BP-1","price":41.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51GDPTBK1yL_13fdd7dd-4fd6-483a-8d50-cec08722f3cc.jpg?v=1785244764","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/groco-bp-1-poly-strainer-basket-1-9-x-5-2-inch","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
