My wife and I have just moved into our new Villa at La Herrada (Los Montesinos) and are slowly getting used to all things Spanish. I guess it is the engineer in me but I have to know how things work and what they do.

I have asked a couple of people but cannot get the answer so maybe someone out there can answer this.

In both the bathrooms high on the wall above the shower, and also on the wall under the sink in the kichen where the the water pipes come in, are two chrome knurled nuts/knobs - on their own with nothing connected to them - just sat on the wall.

I had assumed that they are something to do with the hot and cold supply pipes - shut off valves perhaps? I turn them and the knobs go in and out but nothing seems to happen to the water flow - I am frightened to wind them all the way out in case they come out and I get flooded - does anyone know what they are for?

p.s. in the downstairs bathroom there is one knurled nut on its own opposite to the wall with all of the taps/toilt/sink is on!!!
