The standard threading on any kind of hardware follows the "lefty loosey, righty tighty" mnemonic device for unscrewing or tightening bolts, screws, etc.
Holding a wrench at the 12:00 position determines whether you are turning left or right. If the wrench (in the most upright, 12:00 position) falls to the left, you are going "lefty loosey." If the wrench falls to the right, you are going "righty tighty."
So: To loosen, turn to the left (as defined above).
To tighten, turn to the right (as defined above).
