Description
Whale 2-Way Waste Manifold 12' Cable | Boat Supply Store
Automate your vessel's waste evacuation with this intelligent 2-way manifold, designed to manage effluent from multiple sources. It directly interfaces with a Whale Gulper IC pump, initiating drainage upon detecting water and continuing operation for 15 seconds post-evacuation, thereby preventing unnecessary cycling. The unit features 3/4" (19mm) inlet and outlet hose connections and operates on a low 5V DC control voltage, drawing only 0.01 Amps, ensuring efficient system performance without excessive power draw.

Common Concerns Answered
What is required for this waste manifold to operate?
The Whale 2-Way Waste Manifold requires a compatible Whale Gulper IC pump to function. It is designed to work as an integrated system, providing intelligent control and automated waste evacuation when paired with the Gulper IC.
Will the 3/4" hose connections work with my existing waste system?
This manifold is designed with 3/4" (19mm) hose connections, which are standard for many marine waste applications. However, it is critical to verify compatibility with your specific boat's plumbing and head system to ensure proper fitment and performance.
Can this waste manifold be used with other brands of pumps?
No, this 2-way waste manifold is specifically engineered for direct communication and integration with the Whale Gulper IC pump. Its Intelligent Control Technology (IC) relies on this proprietary pairing to function correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Whale 2-Way Waste Manifold work with the Gulper IC pump?
The manifold's sensor detects the presence of waste water. Upon detection, it sends a low-voltage electrical signal via the 12' cable to the Whale Gulper IC pump, initiating the pump's operation. Once the water level drops, the manifold continues to signal the pump for an additional 15 seconds to ensure complete evacuation.
What is the purpose of the 12' cable on this waste manifold?
The 12' (4m) cable provides flexibility in installation, allowing the manifold to be strategically placed near waste sources while the control unit (Gulper IC pump) is located elsewhere on the vessel, facilitating optimal system configuration.
What size hoses are compatible with the 3/4" ports on this manifold?
The manifold features 3/4" (19mm) inlet and outlet hose connections, designed to accept standard 3/4" diameter marine-grade hoses for waste water transfer.
Does this manifold require a separate power source?
No, this waste manifold does not require a separate power source. It operates on a 5V DC control voltage supplied directly through its connection to the Whale Gulper IC pump.
What is the Intelligent Control Technology (IC) in Whale products?
Intelligent Control Technology (IC) refers to Whale's system where sensors and pumps communicate directly to automate functions, such as waste evacuation in this instance. This technology ensures efficient operation by activating the pump only when necessary and allowing for a post-cycle flush.
