Strange site disconnecting washing machine

[sheffieldanu]

So I'm about to disconnect my washing machine after reading wikihow and I'm not faced with the two water valves to turn off. The pipe thats connected has no valve??

Could anyone please help?

Unscrew the red top from the other valve (small pozi screw) and use that to shut off the lower one.
Or use pliers /grips on the brass stem that's sticking out.

As mentioned above really. You have 2 options which will work.

Good luck and welcome along

Thank you! I guessed that, but didn't want to just go ahead without a second opinion. Thank you again.

You very welcome, and thank you to @snowhead!

if you are leaving it disconnect for a while eg months/years

install a 3/4 cap on the end of the washing machine valve

Cheers Shaun, we're selling the place so I'd expect the next owner to be putting theirs in in a couple of days.
