Water Supply - Viking DFUD042 Installation Instructions Manual

WATER SUPPLY

WARNING!
Plumbing connections must comply with applicable sanitary, safety and plumbing codes. Water pressure for the water
supply should be minimum 18 to 176 psi. The dishwasher is supplied with a 6' (1.8 m) PEX water supply line that has s
3/8" (.95 cm) NPT female connection.
After determining where the water supply line will enter the dishwasher, drill a 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) access hole and run the
line to the approximate fill valve location shown in the figure. The water inlet valve is on the right rear of the machine.
For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied) should be installed in the supply line in a readily accessible
location (such as beneath the sink). In order to prevent heat damage to the fill valve, all solder connections must
be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher.
The dishwasher should preferably be connected to a hot water supply. If a cold water supply is used, the washing
times will be longer. Flush the supply line prior to connecting it to the intake line of the dishwasher. It's important that
the water supply line and the shut-off valve have a sufficient flow volume - at least 3 gallons (12 liters) per minute must
be able to pass through the line. The water pressure should be 18-176 PSI.
NOTE: Be sure to run the PEX tubing through the hole to the sink compartment before moving the dishwasher
into place.
