In order to achieve the best air pressure for wall drying, Viking Equipment recommends that the
½ x 3/8 inch Vinyl hoses be cut as shown above. Lengthening hoses will result in a loss of
pressure unless pressure is equalized by capping-off one or more hoses to compensate. Hose
caps are incorporated into the front of the PDS-21, below the Viking logo.
