The PO of my house shut off the water to the washer whenever it was

rubber hoses that were there when he moved in 18 years earlier.

I also do this, but only on the on the hot water line. Yes, they are
ball valves. I wouldn't do this if they were gate valves.

they're actually spigots, but I'm tempted to replace them with ball
valves since I have to do some neatening up in that area anyway (one of
the water lines is hanging away from the wall at some funky angle, and
it was apparently installed that way...)
