K-Pump 40
- The K-40 is the ideal choice for smaller boats - IKs, kickboats, etc.
- Only 24" in length, 4" in diameter and 3 pounds in weight, it stows compactly.
- The primary stage delivers approx. 0.9 gals of air per stroke, filling your tubes quickly.
- When the pressure in the chamber increases and pumping starts to become difficult, a simple twist of the handle locks out the high-volume primary stage and locks in the high-pressure "top-off" stage.
- Nozzle end and included adapters fit most inflatable boat valves - Leafield, Halkey-Roberts, Summit, Boston, AD-2 and military valves.
- Ergonomic design is comfortable to use, even with extended use.
- Efficiently operated by one person. No hoses to kink and pull out.
- Easily stowed, takes up little space.
- Rugged construction is backed by an unlimited 2-year warranty.
- All K-Pumps float!
- A spare O-ring for each of the stages is included with the pump.
- NOTE This pump comes with a check valve which allow you to use it to inflate military valves and the conical adapter that most air mattresses and pool toys require.

Comments about K-Pump 40:
I use this pump to inflate a GigBob and the pump works well but it is difficult to keep the pump from switching from the high pressure stage to the volume stage and vice versa. This is very disruptive when pumping.

Comments about K-Pump 40:
Wow! I was a Professional Maine White Water Guide for 3 summers, and have been a Weekend Warrior Guide since then. In my 16 seasons of using 6", 5", and 4" barrel pumps for topping off boats and stowing on trips, I find the K-Pump 40 to be the professional and recreational rafters dream pump. It's capacity to inflate and top-off is amazing. The no-slip grip, dual capacities, and compact design make this best river pump I have ever used. I would recommend this pump to anybody in the rafting, shredding, an IK worlds. K-Pump nailed this one out of the park, for sure!! :)

Comments about K-Pump 40:
For an inflatable kayak, this is the way to go. I was predisposed to get an electric pump, but after discussing with a rep chose to buy only the hand pump. It was the right choice. It fills the IK in a few non-fatiguing minutes. Since you need a top-off pump anyway, save the unnecessary expense of the motor.

Comments about K-Pump 40:
I have several top off pumps, this one is the best I have ever used, has a high volume and high pressure setting which is easy to use, nozzle fits all my boats with various valves very well, summit valve, leafield C7 and B7. I was a little hesitant because of the price, but it is worth it. Great pump! at a nice size. This could be the best IK hand pump ever invented.

Merchant response: The two-stage K-Pumps, K-20, K-40 and K-400, all use a twist-lock method to set either the high-volume or high-pressure mode. Once you learn how to use that it's very easy to maintain the correct mode.
