If nothing succeeded
If the above methods did not help, then carefully remove the nut will no longer work. But it is impossible to stop after such a path? Saw the nut along the axis with a grinder or a hacksaw. If the place does not allow you to do this, then drill it with a drill or alternately apply a minus screwdriver (a chisel will do) at a certain angle to the notch on each side and tap with a hammer.
And finally: it is best to avoid situations when you are looking for an answer to the question: “how to unscrew a rusted nut?
". To avoid problems, we advise you to buy high-quality nuts (galvanized or stainless), because even in an aggressive environment they are not afraid of rust or oxidation. When buying, you should make sure that the product was manufactured in compliance with all rules and regulations, meets the specified strength, and also has a quality certificate.
Unscrewing the faucet nut may not be too easy. Rust, limescale, scale can accumulate inside. To unscrew the mixer, you need to stock up on the right tool and patience. Instruments must be exactly the right size and fit snugly. Before starting work, make sure that the tool has a firm grip on the workpiece.
A stuck mixer is the most difficult to unscrew, since you will have to apply a neat moderate force. Perform all actions to replace the mixer and unscrew the nuts smoothly, without jerking. Any sudden movement can lead to thread stripping or breakage.

That is, you want to say that you immediately came across 2 faulty sensors from the package? I don't believe in life. No not 2 but one. the first one was taken in exchange for the deceased for hot water supply. The second one was brought by the owner of the boiler worker. We replaced it on the heating circuit, as the service workers advised it. And only then the old sensor from the heating circuit was installed instead of the first buggy one on the hot water supply. And everything worked.

Good afternoon everyone!
Activity on the forum is quite low, but I have not yet found specialized places where you can get an answer to my question
Now we have a Baxi Main 24 Fi boiler and a simple thermostat (the temperature is adjusted with a wheel)
There is a very great desire to put a touch-sensitive thermostat, with a connection to wi-fi, so that you can remotely change the temperature
Is it possible to connect this type of thermostat to this boiler?
For a long time, the faucet was digging, and when I decided to replace it, it turned out that it had become attached and did not want to get out. How can I remove it to replace it?
if the valve is thoroughly stuck
to begin with, you can tap it with a hammer, and if after that it does not start to unscrew, then you can warm it up with a burner (if the pipes are plastic), you need to warm it up carefully. In order not to melt the base of the fastener, after warming up, you must sharply pull it off along the thread. Then prepare another valve and replace the old one. do not want to flood the neighbors, it is best to turn off the water entering the apartment
Old valves are very reluctant to twist off old pipes. They are usually not only stuck, but also decently painted over. If the working connectors of the faucet body sit tightly on the pipes and do not dig, I would dare to advise that you start the repair by replacing the packing located under the upper clamping nut -
or even replacing the entire “head” with a new one (this is the upper part of the tap screwed into the body). Today, picking up a new “head” is not a problem. When replacing the valve, clean the seat in the body.
I will explain my point of view.If the tap is ancient, then apparently the pipes are not new. Their threads are quite rotten, and it’s not a fact that you, even unscrewing the old tap in half with grief, put a new one on them with high quality.
Well, if the replacement of the packing or even the "head" did not help, you will have to remove the old case.
The valve is rarely installed “tightly” - this is when it is not possible to unscrew it without dismantling and cutting pipes. If pipes come to the tap on both sides, then either one of them must be able to rotate, or a spur with a coupling and a lock nut is installed on one side of the tap. With this countergait and coupling, start disassembly. Using two wrenches in different directions, we separate the coupling and the lock nut. Next, we steal the coupling even further from the nut until the connector in the pipes appears. Now unscrew the valve from the "dead" pipe.
Before dismantling, it is better to clean the paint and rust well with a metal brush, especially in the coils of pipes where the nut and coupling will be driven. You can wet them with water to clean them better. Even without special equipment, albeit a little tight, they always leave.
I’ll immediately warn you that, as we remember, pipes can also be old, and it’s not at all difficult to turn a tap or coupling along with part of the pipe along the turns. And this means that you need to be ready to cut a new thread (have a screw) or install a GEBO-coupling, or, what is the most troublesome, weld a new thread by electric welding.
If you have any of the above at hand, then just take a grinder and cut off the old tap -
Method 3 destruction of the nut
Sometimes the question "How to unscrew a rusted nut?" there is only one answer - to destroy it. It will help you in this matter:
- Chisel.
- Bulgarian.
- Hacksaw for metal.
- Electric drill.
And here is the algorithm of actions:
- Using a chisel and hammer, prepare grooves along the edges of the nut. The further you drive in the chisel, the larger the diameter of the part increases. The result of this will be the destruction of the connection held on the thread. You will achieve a similar effect by drilling such holes with an electric drill. This case is handy if you have enough room to access the nut.
- Another way is to use a grinder or a hacksaw for metal. You need to carefully saw the part along the axis of the bolt connected to it.
How to remove a faucet handle WITHOUT a screw Mysterious faucet
#1 How to remove the faucet handle WITHOUT a screw? Mysterious Mixer

Friends! Faucet handles ( vidima ) do not have plugs and screws or I cannot find them. The handle cannot be removed with a simple effort, since the tap is many years old and it has clearly become attached. On the Internet I did not find any instructions for such a design. Is there any way to remove to get the crane box? There is some kind of latch.
Or am I not seeing a hidden secret screw?

These have a hex screw on the bottom. Search under the inscription. Or try to pull it up, but then you will either break the tool or the latch of the handle
Added after 1 minute 25 seconds: Another option is that this thickening should be removed and it just hides the screw
After unscrewing the bolt, remove the flywheel by pulling it up and holding the mixer with the other hand. If the flywheel cannot be removed, then it is coked, but for this we have pliers, and by tapping the flywheel from bottom to top, trying not to damage it much, we try to remove it. The tapping procedure must be alternated.
Next, unscrew the decorative part that closes the faucet box. If it is stuck, use the gas wrench, and try to unscrew it through a rag.
Here it is, the long-awaited crane box! Well, everything is simple here, we take an adjustable wrench and unscrew it in a counterclockwise direction. Faucet repair
So, we have a sample of a crane box.We take it, the flywheel and the flywheel bolt, and we go with them to the store, I explain why:
Two types of crane boxes
In faucets for baths and kitchens, two types of faucets are used: with a worm gear and rubber gasket, and with movable ceramic plates that block the flow of water.
Crane boxes of two types
In order to change the crane box, you must first buy a new one. It is easier to do this if you unscrew and bring to the store the one that is to be replaced, since the faucet bushings in the mixers may differ in some parameters, including the length and diameter of the threaded part (1/2 or 3/8 inch), seat under the handle (square or spline connection with 20 or 24 splines). As a rule, consultants in plumbing stores are able to select the necessary product according to the sample.
The difference between a bushing with a rubber-sealed stem and a movable ceramic plate design is as follows.
• The first ones incorporate a stem that is extended using a worm gear and locks the valve seat with a rubber gasket. When worn, such a gasket is easy to change, and it costs a penny. Unfortunately, gasket replacement is required quite often;
Crane box with rubber gasket
• The faucet box with ceramic plates does not require rotation of the stem (handle) of the mixer in order to open the faucet completely. It is enough to turn its flywheel just half a turn. The ceramic faucet box is arranged simply: a ceramic plate with a hole is fixed on the rod, the second plate (with the same hole in shape) is fixed motionless. A slight turn of the tap and the alignment of the holes on the plates opens the way for water.
Crane box with ceramic plates, its device
In principle, the ceramic plates inside the movement can be changed. However, they break quite rarely, and replacing the entire crane box is much easier. Compared to a rubber gasket, changing a faucet box with ceramics is more expensive, but the convenience of everyday use of a mixer is worth the money, and the service life of such products is very long. The only thing that can limit the use of ceramic faucets is hard tap water, which has a large amount of solid inclusions that have abrasive properties due to which the ceramic plates are erased, they no longer fit tightly to each other, letting water through. Often by disassembling and cleaning these plates from scale and rust, the problem of water leakage is solved.
