Shut off gas supply

The image below is probably typical of a common domestic gas supply

My question is with regards to the shut off on the pipe to the left - would it typically be quarter, half or a full turn to isolate the gas supply to off?

    Quarter turn. You will find it probably won't go any further than that.
  • A quarter will do it. It shouldn't allow you to move it much more in any case

    I would also get that governor checked. Looks like a J88 from here.

    Just pull it until it stops.
    In fact, the yellow sticker right next to it shows you exactly which position is which.
    If it's already on, the only other position available is off. :beer:

    Thanks for all the replies.

    The picture isn't my house - just one I found on Google images that looks like it was similar.
