    Welcome.

    With these heads for a flat screwdriver, turning 90 degrees, probably to the level (you have to check because I'm not sure).

    If in doubt, ask.

    Regards

    Valves like the one in the picture have built-in ball valves - closing with a flat screwdriver after turning 90 °.
    Other types of similar valves have hidden closures under the plugs - first you need to remove them and then we can close them with an Allen key. Only here there are poppet valves, which means you have to turn it for quite a long time until it stops.

    Hello. I wanted to ask something about such a valve as in the picture. They only have the option of turning left once and right once to open and close. Because I have at home that I can, for example, turn the flat screwdriver clockwise all the time and it opens and closes. And I wanted to ask if something is happening?

    You can spin them around and nothing should happen. Unless even the smallest moves move the seals on the spindle to turn these valves.

    Thank you for your answer. But if he let go of some act, it could start to drip from the valve or something ??

    Yes - it could drip - then the whole valve should be replaced.

    OK thank you. But it's been the third day since I've been spinning around so much and not a drop has fallen, so it's probably all right and nothing has come off
