•Connect 1/4" (6mm) flexible copper tubing to household plumbing in compliance with local codes and ordinances.
•Length of copper tubing must reach from water supply connection to refrigerator connection with an additional length
to facilitate moving the refrigerator out of enclosure for cleaning or service. Tubing should be soft instead of rigid and
ends should be free of burrs.
•Copper tubing route must be above 35 o F (1.7 o C) to prevent water line from freezing.

flow rate required by the ice maker. To use a saddle valve, follow the instructions below located under "To rough in
water line" on how to pre-drill a 3/16" (4.5 mm) diameter hole.
•If saddle valve is not used, place a separate shut-off valve in an easily accessible location between water supply and
refrigerator. Do not locate shut-off valve behind refrigerator.
•The installation of Viking refrigerators with an reverse osmosis system is acceptable a a s s l l o o n n g g a a s s t t h h e e w w a a t t e e r r p p r r e e s s s s u u r r e e

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.
•Connect a vertical or horizontal 1/2" (1.2 cm) to 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) COLD water line near refrigerator area.
•Run water line through the floor, back, or side wall. Tubing should lay flat on floor underneath refrigertor. Clamp
tubing to wall or floor.
•Water pressure must be greater than 20 psi and less than 120 psi.
To rough in water line:
1. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2. V V ertical cold water line: Use grounded electric drill or hand drill to drill 3/16" (4.5 mm) hole
in an easily accessible location in water line.
Horizontal cold water line: Use grounded electric drill or hand drill to drill 3/16" (4.5 mm)
hole in the TOP of the water line. This will keep sediment from collecting in valve.
3. Position washer over hole in water line.
piercing lance a maximum of 3/16" (4.5 mm). Align piercing lance over hole in water line.
Place both halves of saddle valve bracket against water line. Turn saddle valve handle
clockwise until piercing lance enters hole in water line and is firmly seated. The saddle valve
is now in the closed position. Tighten packing nut. Evenly and firmly tighten bracket screws
so washer will make a water-tight connection. Do not overtighten screws: copper tubing
could be crushed.
4. Check that both ends of copper tubing are cut square. Slide compression nut and sleeve onto copper tubing.
Insert end of copper tubing completely into valve outlet. Tighten compression nut to outlet with adjustable
wrench. Do not overtighten.
5. Turn on main water supply. Check for leaks. Turn saddle valve handle counterclockwise and run 2 (1.9 L) quarts of
water through copper tubing and into a bucket. Turn saddle valve clockwise to shut off water to copper tubing.
6. Route copper tubing to All Freezer area.
7. Leave an additional length of copper tubing coil to facilitate moving the All Freezer out of enclosure for cleaning
or service.
8. See page 37 for water connection instructions.
