BF20H is a conduit whose sole purpose is to delete the block from the B-heptomino with the first natural glider shot by the resulting Herschel.
Two stable mechanisms for a BF20H conduit are shown in the infobox. The first one was found by Tanner Jacobi on May 30, 2019.[1] The second one, based on bandersnatch and giving an extra glider output, was found in November 2020.[2]

Conventional methods to clean up the block include using a glider reflector such as p8 bouncer and rectifier.
