    Follow the cold water hose back to the connection and turn the valve handle clockwise to shut it off. Good luck, Tom

    Hi thanks, there is no valve handle just a screw and nut, tried turning the screw but not shutting off the water. Have taken the hose off and put a 10p in to stop the water. Thanks for your help though, much appreciated.
