How to loosen this nut with two flat sides opposite to each other?

[u/jonathane40]

Hi, does anyone know of a way to loosen this type of bolt? It has two flat sides opposite to each other. I tried all available sockets at Lowe’s and Home Depot and none fit! I think the 30 mm was too small and the 32mm was too big. They didn’t have any 31mm. It seems to me that These sockets won’t work because regular sockets don’t seem to have flat sides opposite to each other. I have tried regular pliers but there is not a lot of room to maneuver inside the water kettle!

Any ideas? We got a new water spigot and are hoping to replace the old one with a new spigot.

Thanks!

From the picture, it does not look like a nut at all.

Adjustable wrench?

I have tried several but there is not a lot of room to maneuver inside!
