Portable Dry Minister Baptistry Extra Large 7ft 11in Long

How to move your portable baptistry We sell wheel kits, but for the money and for safety, we suggest using two wooden furniture dollies. Be sure to set the baptistry on the floor before filling or using.

The 9533 portable baptistry is an excellent choice for churches who need a portable baptistry and want to customize the exterior of the unit. With the wooden frame work, you can easily add cabinet grade panels or other materials to the sides for a custom look or to match your existing sanctuary decor.

The extra large size of this baptistry (the depth of the seat platform is 19" ) allows for easy baptizing of even the largest candidates.

The purchase of our fiberglass top allows for the portable baptistry to be used as a communion table or even as a literature table in the vestibule or narthex. We sell a cloth table cover to match the skirting that allows for complete covering of your portable baptistry.

Fill and drain your portable baptistry with a garden hose and sump pump. Or, if you prefer, we sell a removable circulation heater that includes a pump and hoses for easy filling, draining and heating of the portable baptistery.

To move the baptistry, we recommend simple furniture movers, available at home improvement stores. We like the kind that are made of wood, covered with carpet and feature 4 casters. Two of these movers are all it takes to transport this baptistry. (Be sure to remove the movers before attempting to fill or use the baptistry)

Portable Baptistry Drain Locations

Adding a permanent drain to your portable baptistry

To add a permanent drain to a PORTABLE baptistry there are a few things to keep in mind:
-this will void any manufacturer warranty, but if it has to be done it has to be done.
-install the drain in the lowest part of the well and make sure to keep the hole at least a few inches from the side walls…exact middle is best.
-you will be removing some of the structural support of the shell in the drain area so it is more likely to develop a leak, but if you block up around the drain with treated lumber then you should most likely be okay.
-I would also put something akin to a catch basin or similar water-proof material under the drain so if it does happen to develop a slow leak it will be contained.
-do not over tighten the drain flange and ring when installing…make it snug but don’t crank it down as this can compress the fiberglass.
