{"product_id":"groco-bp-4-poly-strainer-basket-2-6-x-7-5-inches","title":"Groco BP-4 Poly Strainer Basket, 2.6 x 7.5 Inches","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Groco BP-4 is a polypropylene replacement basket sized 2.6 inches by 7.5 inches, built for use inside raw water strainer housings aboard boats. It is molded in durable black plastic and features an open-top, no-lid design that lets the basket slide in and out of the strainer bowl for quick cleaning and inspection. As the filtering element of a raw water strainer system, the basket catches debris, weeds, sand, and other particulate before it can reach the engine, air conditioning pump, generator, or other water-cooled equipment, protecting downstream components from clogging and damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe basket's perforated wall design allows water to pass through while trapping solids, and its rigid plastic construction resists corrosion and saltwater degradation better than metal mesh alternatives over time. A molded handle on top makes it easy to grip and lift the basket out of the strainer body for rinsing or replacement. This is a single basket, sold individually, intended as a direct replacement or spare for strainer housings that accept a basket of this size.\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-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strainer Basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.6 inches x 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLid:\u003c\/strong\u003e No lid, open top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Groco BP-4 strainer basket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco BP-4 measures 2.6 inches by 7.5 inches, so measure your existing strainer basket or housing opening against these dimensions before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the BP-4 basket made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is molded from black plastic (polypropylene-type material), which resists corrosion and saltwater degradation better than a metal mesh basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Groco BP-4 basket come with a lid?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the BP-4 is an open-top basket with no lid; it is designed to sit inside a separate strainer housing that has its own cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many baskets are included when I order a Groco BP-4?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each order of the Groco BP-4 includes one basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Groco BP-4 basket used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It functions as the filtering element inside a raw water strainer, catching debris, weeds, and sand before the water reaches engine or pump cooling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Groco BP-4 basket weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The BP-4 basket weighs 0.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean or replace the BP-4 basket?\u003c\/strong\u003e Open the strainer housing lid, lift the BP-4 basket out by its molded handle, rinse out trapped debris, and reinsert it, or swap in a new BP-4 if it is cracked or worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Groco BP-4 a genuine Groco part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the BP-4 is a genuine Groco strainer basket, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the BP-4 basket fit any strainer housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is sized for strainer housings designed to accept a 2.6 inch by 7.5 inch basket; check your housing's basket opening before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the basket use an open-top design instead of a sealed lid?\u003c\/strong\u003e The open-top design on the Groco BP-4 lets water flow freely through the perforated sides while making it simple to slide the basket in and out for cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49033324363995,"sku":"GRO-BP-4","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51GDPTBK1yL_516b4c59-07d4-49ef-b086-160d002849da.jpg?v=1785244763","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/groco-bp-4-poly-strainer-basket-2-6-x-7-5-inches","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
