Whale Gusher Titan Manual Bilge Pump - Standard Version

Yes, on Whale Gusher Titan series pumps, including the BP4402 model, the water inlet and outlet direction can be reversed. This flexibility is achieved by following the manufacturer's instructions to reposition the handle and diaphragm, allowing the pump to adapt to various installation configurations.

For optimal efficiency and ease of use, the installation of your Whale Gusher Titan BP4402 pump must meet several requirements:

Select a clear, unobstructed location where the pump can be operated easily and comfortably.Avoid installations requiring opening a cockpit locker to access the pump.Position the pump midway between the strainer and the hull outlet to minimize pumping effort.If the discharge is through the hull, ensure the discharge point is well above the waterline.

The Whale Gusher Titan BP4402 manual bilge pump is designed to be used with 38 mm (1 1/2 inch) diameter hoses for water intake and discharge. It is recommended to use marine-grade hoses to ensure watertightness and durability of your installation.

The Whale Gusher Titan BP4402 manual bilge pump is specifically designed for manual pumping and bilge drying of your boat’s hull. It efficiently removes stagnant water, contributing to the safety and maintenance of your vessel.

The Gusher Titan manual bilge pump is designed for draining stagnant water and drying out a boat’s bilw. Note that its capacity may be insufficient to handle a rapid influx of water.

The Gusher Titan pump is primarily designed for bilge water. If you intend to use it for another liquid, it is your responsibility to ensure the pump is suitable for the intended use and that the materials are fully compatible with the liquids to be used.

Yes, the handle of the Gusher Titan pump is detachable and comes with a lanyard. It must be securely fastened near the pump for easy use.

The reference for this Whale Gusher Titan manual bilge pump model is BP4402.

The standard BP4402 model of the Gusher Titan pump is specifically designed to be mounted on a bulkhead. It allows great flexibility in selecting the handle position relative to the flow direction.

To mount the Gusher Titan BP4402 pump on a bulkhead:

Use the pump as a template to mark and drill four 1/4” (6 mm) holes. Check the flow direction and secure the pump with 1/4” (6 mm) bolts. Attach a smooth-bore reinforced hose with 1 1/2” (38 mm) ID using stainless steel worm-drive hose clamps. Tighten them to prevent air leaks. If the discharge is through the hull, ensure the discharge point is well above the waterline. Check the installation for air leaks, proper priming, and discharge.

To change the water flow direction of the Gusher Titan pump:

Loosen the screws on both sides of the clamping ring. Remove the diaphragm and rotate the body to the new position relative to the fork and diaphragm. Reassemble the diaphragm and clamping ring, ensuring the clamping screws on both sides are tightened evenly.

Use a 1 1/2" (38 mm) smooth-bore reinforced hose for the Gusher Titan pump installation. Use stainless steel worm-drive hose clamps for fittings to ensure a watertight seal.

Yes, to ensure proper priming and flow, it is recommended to avoid sharp bends in the piping and to install a Whale strainer (incorporating a non-return valve). This prevents the end of the hose from sticking to a flat surface and helps minimize the water level.

When choosing the installation location, ensure it is clear of any obstructions and that the pump can be operated efficiently and comfortably. To minimize pumping effort, position the pump midway between the strainer and the hull outlet. Avoid installations requiring the opening of a cockpit locker for use.

Maintenance kits are available for the Gusher Titan pump:

AK4400: Neoprene spare parts kit (for clean bilge water). AK4419: Nitrile spare parts kit (for oily bilge water). It is recommended to keep a maintenance kit on board.

Rubber components in the pump must be replaced if worn or every three years, regardless of condition, to ensure proper operation and pump efficiency.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for claims arising from incorrect installation, unauthorized modification, or misuse of the product. Such situations may potentially void the warranty.

The Whale Gusher Titan BP4402 pump is designed to be mounted on a bulkhead. Follow these recommended installation steps:

Use the pump as a template to mark and drill four 6 mm (1/4”) mounting holes.Check the desired flow direction and secure the pump with 6 mm (1/4”) bolts.Attach a 38 mm (1 1/2”) smooth-bore reinforced hose using stainless steel worm-drive hose clamps. Tighten them to prevent air leaks.If using a through-hull discharge, ensure the discharge point is well above the waterline.Check the installation for air leaks, ensure proper priming, and confirm smooth discharge.To minimize pumping effort, position the pump midway between the strainer/filter and the hull outlet.For proper priming and flow, avoid sharp bends in the plumbing and install a Whale strainer/filter (incorporating a non-return valve).Ensure the pump is installed to allow easy access for maintenance.The flow direction can be changed by loosening the clamp ring screws, rotating the pump body, and reassembling the diaphragm and clamp ring.

Regular maintenance is recommended for your Whale Gusher Titan BP4402 pump to ensure proper operation and longevity. Key points:

Inspection: Regular inspection of the pump is recommended. Replacement of rubber components: Rubber components must be replaced if worn or every three years, regardless of condition. Service kits: Service kits are available for pump maintenance: The AK4400 kit is designed for clean bilge water (neoprene). The AK4419 kit is designed for oily bilge water (nitrile). It is recommended to keep a service kit on board. Winterization: At the end of the season, it is advisable to drain all water from the piping and pump chamber.
