GROCO BM-12 3.1-Inch x 11.9-Inch Monel Strainer Basket

The GROCO BM-12 replacement strainer basket restores the removable filtering element inside a compatible marine strainer. The basket is made from Monel, giving it the corrosion resistance needed for repeated wet service and cleaning. GROCO lists the BM-12 for ARG-3015 strainer applications, so matching the existing strainer model before ordering is important. It is a sensible service part when the original basket is damaged, heavily worn, or no longer cleans up well enough for dependable reuse.

The BM-12's open filtering surface is intended to collect debris while allowing water to continue through the strainer housing. Routine removal also gives the owner a chance to inspect the basket for distortion, damaged screening, or a handle that is beginning to loosen. The BM-12 uses an improved handle design so the basket is easier to lift out when the strainer is opened for maintenance. Keeping a clean spare BM-12 on hand can shorten service time because the dirty basket can be swapped out and cleaned away from the installed strainer.

Before fitting the BM-12, isolate the intake and clean the inside of the strainer so old debris is not trapped beneath the replacement basket. Set the basket fully into its intended position and confirm the cap or cover closes without forcing the handle or filter body. After the system is reopened, check normal water flow and inspect the strainer for leakage before leaving the compartment unattended.
