    I’ve got one Under the Kitchen sink, but it turns all the water off. 
    There should be two 1 for main supply and 1 for tap.

    So it can be isolated if problem  especially in winter months.

    I would suggest ensuring you have an isolating valve fitted before continuing.


    That connector looks pretty ancient so there may not be a separate isolator for it.

    Turn the water off.
    Undo the fitting then wrap plenty of PTFE tape around the olive on the pipe that sticks out of the wall.
    Refit and tighten up.
