ELECTRIC IMMERSION BAPTISMAL WATER HEATER
Model SS-1.5-42HL
120 Volts — Single Phase
Especially Designed For Easy, Low Cost Installation In Baptistries
See Wiring Diagram and Important Safety Information On Back
Installation And Operating Instructions
1.) The unit can be suspended in the middle, end or side of the Baptistry. Heater must be securely held in position
to prevent the electrical box from making contact with the water.
2.) Fill baptistry to required baptismal water depth. The heater must be immersed in water when it is turned
on or it can overheat and burn out, cause bodily harm, or can become a fire hazard.
NEVER TURN HEATER ON UNLESS BAPTISTRY IS FULL OF WATER.
3.) Plug heater into appropriate 120V receptacle (see wiring diagram on back of this sheet) and set desired
baptistry temperature on thermostat dial. The signal light glows only when heating element is energized.
When the desired temperature is reached the signal light will be off.
4.) Prior to the Baptismal Service the baptistry heater should be turned off, unplugged and removed from the baptistry.
There should be no body contact with the baptismal water while the heater is in the water. This will
guarantee protection from the danger caused if an electrical short circuit were to occur in the baptistry
heaters electrical system.
Baptistry Heat-Up Times
The SS-1.5-42 (1.5KW) will heat 25 GPH (30°F Temperature Rise).
A 100 gallon baptistry can be heated in 4-1/2 to 5 hours, or one-half
this time with a 15°
F Temperature Rise.
Two 1.5KW Little Giant Baptistry Immersion Heaters would
heat the water in one-half the time.
