Use only 1/4” (6 mm) copper tubing for
water line. Do Not install copper tubing in
area where temperatures drop below
35˚ F (1.7˚ C). Before attaching copper
tubing to the unit, flush at least 2 quarts
(1.9 L) of water through the copper
tubing and into a bucket to remove any
particles in the water line.

• The installation of Viking units with a
reverse osmosis system is acceptable
as long as the water pressure remains
within the allowable PSI as stated
below. It is important to note that with
many reverse osmosis systems, the
pressure starts off high, but then it
decreases as the water level of the
reverse osmosis storage area drops. This
must be considered when checking the
water pressure coming into the unit.
