Water Supply Requirements
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.
