    Hello, I have a problem because I cannot cope with unscrewing the two valves where the shower faucet is to appear. As you can see, the valves are secured against dripping with hemp. Can someone tell me with what and how I could unscrew these valves?

    The easiest way to do this is with a plumber.
    And seriously, these valves have a groove for a flat key or an adjustable key.
    If the valve is to go to the garbage, it can be framed.

    I don't know if I named it right, but I have to unscrew the whole nickel-plated part (all the way to the pipe in the wall), not just the (copper?) Key-grooved part. Any new tips?

    Oh yeah, I can see it already. There is still the matter of sealing the valve with hemp, it should not be a problem when unscrewing?

    Before you unscrew something, close the main valve, and special eccentric connectors go into the elbows under the faucet, then if the filled boiler is above the future faucet, it will leak out of the cold pipe anyway because it will suck in warm air, so you still need to close the cold inlet valve to the boiler, you get it something?.

    It is important how the wall pipe is held because something more can be left in the hand after applying force.
    Such a tap is and with a screwdriver inserted in the output, you can unscrew the base, but it is a bolt or a wrench. And this is how toto holds because sometimes you have to grab two keys.

    I would suggest using two keys. With one, grab the brass part attached to the wall, and with the other, turn the valve. By turning the valve itself, it may happen that we will screw this brass element. I once did when I wanted to tighten the valve.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around methods for unscrewing hemp-secured valves in shower faucets. Users suggest using a plumber's wrench or adjustable key to grip the valve's special flattening for counterclockwise unscrewing. It is emphasized to close the main water valve before attempting to unscrew to prevent leaks. Concerns about the hemp seal during unscrewing are addressed, indicating it should not pose a significant issue. Additionally, using two keys is recommended: one to hold the brass part attached to the wall and the other to turn the valve, preventing the brass element from turning unintentionally.
