However, in the currently available height-adjustable water inlet valve, the body of the water inlet valve is usually required to be rotated during height adjustment, so that the buckle on the body moves along the circumferential direction of the water inlet pipe and retracts out of the teeth arranged on the water inlet pipe to perform height adjustment, and the body is rotated reversely to be buckled again after being adjusted in place upwards or downwards. The specific operation is as follows: at first, need stretch into the water tank bottom with the hand, open the fixed knot and make the body can be relative the inlet tube rotatory, then after the certain angle of rotatory body, upwards or adjust the height downwards, adjust to suitable high back, need rotatory body once more, target in place body and inlet tube normal running fit, need stretch into the water tank bottom with the hand once more after that, lock the fixed knot again.
