Hopefully I got the name of the item right.
I had a leak (that I discovered when home) but am concerned about leaks when I travel so I got this device that mounts to my water main and can turn the quarter turn lever to turn off the water when signaled.

Issue is I think it is supposed to mount above the pipe, but my lever to turn the water on or off is "upside down" from what I expect it to be. (Otherwise the motor will mount "upside down" and not sure how well that will work.
Is there a safe and simple way to change this? Just unscrew and reattach, or will water leak if I do that? The item I am talking about looks like this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--po-yx4Tuek/UFn3sOZIu-I/AAAAAAAAAqQ/Qk9ib4VLZpw/s1600/shutoff-valve-2.jpg (search pulled up this example photo). I want to unscrew the lever and turn it 180 degrees.
I should add, the item is yellow, labeled Apollo International, and when open "points in the direction of water flow" if that matters.
