HydroQuip 13" Baptismal 5.5kW Heater Assembly [240V] (BHS-55-3W-13)

HydroQuip 13" Baptismal 5.5kW Heater Assembly [240V] [3-Wire] (BHS-55-3W-13) — The HydroQuip 13" BHS-55-3W baptismal heater assembly serves vertically mounted circulation-style baptistry heating equipment. Its 5.5kW heating capacity is paired with a 240V, three-wire electrical configuration and a 13" heater length. HydroQuip identifies this configuration as having no pump circuit; it must not be assumed to control or supply the circulation pump. For churches and facility maintenance teams, the critical choice is matching the existing heater length, system connections and electrical arrangement to the equipment already installed.

Choosing the Correct Replacement

This listing is for the 13" version, not the other BHS-55-3W heater length. Measure the original assembly and compare its clearance, terminals, plumbing interface and system labeling. The BHS family includes more than one length and electrical configuration. A matching power rating by itself is insufficient. If you are replacing an older vertically mounted circulation-style unit, confirm the existing control, pressure switch and wiring diagram before ordering.

Installation & Safety

The circulation pump and pressure-operated protection must function correctly before the heater is energized. Installation and wiring should be completed by a qualified professional using the applicable manufacturer manual and local electrical requirements. Never bypass a pressure switch or high-limit device to operate a baptismal heater.
