Water Supply Requirements
(All Freezer)
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.
