I need to turn off the supply of water to my shower. I found the back access panel, opened it up and am looking at the Valves to turn off the supply of water. They are very hard to turn either way, but I dont know which way to turn them, to turn off the supply of water.
Just remember: Righty tighty, lefty loosey (except for explosive gas). To the right is tight — off.

Clock wise to turn it off, but, you said it was hard to turn either way, I would get some WD-40, penetrating oil and spray the value and let sit for awhile before trying to turn it

If I need to turn my water off (traveling, other), I use the spigot type thing at the street. Mine is just like a faucet handle, some you have to have a tool. A long rod. All the way one way is on, all the way the other way is off. Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
