Replacing a tub spout and flushing water line in Northern Virginia

Installing a New Tub Spout and Flushing the Tub Water Line | Peregrina Plumbing

When it’s time to replace your tub spout or restore proper water flow to your bathtub, Peregrina Plumbing provides expert service backed by licensed, family-owned quality. Serving Northern Virginia homeowners in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and Prince William County, our technicians follow precise installation standards to guarantee performance and reliability.

Step 1: Preparing the Work Area

We begin by shutting off the home’s water supply and inspecting your existing setup to identify whether your tub spout uses a slip-fit or threaded connection. This ensures we use the proper removal and installation method without damaging surrounding tile or plumbing fixtures.

Step 2: Removing the Old Spout

The old tub spout is carefully detached using professional-grade tools. We inspect the stub-out pipe for corrosion, thread damage, or mineral buildup that could prevent a watertight connection. This step is essential for long-term durability and leak prevention.

Step 3: Flushing the Tub Water Line

Before the new spout is installed, Peregrina Plumbing thoroughly flushes the tub water line. This step removes trapped sediment, rust, or debris from the hot and cold supply lines—common in older Virginia homes with galvanized or hard-water buildup. Clean water lines improve water pressure, prevent clogs, and extend fixture life.

Step 4: Installing the New Tub Spout

We apply the correct sealant or O-ring (depending on the manufacturer’s specs) and install the new spout securely to ensure a perfect fit. The diverter and flow are tested for smooth operation, balanced pressure, and leak-free performance. Our licensed plumbers verify that the installation meets all Virginia plumbing code requirements.

Step 5: Final Testing and Cleanup

Once the system is re-pressurized, we run both hot and cold water to confirm full flow through the new spout and to the shower diverter. The area is cleaned and inspected to ensure a professional finish, ready for everyday use.
