As shown, the water supply valve 1 includes a valve body 2 having an opening and closing means for opening and closing a flow path and an electric drive means for driving the opening and closing means, an inlet port 3 provided at both sides of the valve body 2, and The outlet port 4 is provided. An inlet port 3 is connected to an external connection hose 5 connected to an external water supply source, and an outlet port 4 is connected to an internal water supply pipe 6 guiding water to a water tank or a detergent supply device inside the washing machine.

입구포트(3)는 외부 연결호스(3)를 연결할 수 있도록 본체케이스(7) 내부로부터 관통공(8)을 통하여 본체케이스(7) 외부로 연장된다. 또 입구포트(3) 외면에는 수나사가 형성되고, 본체케이스(7) 내면에는 입구포트(3)와 체결되는 체결너트(9)가 설치된다. 체결너트(9)는 본체케이스(7) 내면에 고정된다. 이러한 급수밸브(1)는 입구포트(3)가 체결너트(9)에 체결됨으로써 본체케이스(7)에 고정된다. The inlet port 3 extends from the inside of the body case 7 to the outside of the body case 7 through the through hole 8 so as to connect the external connection hose 3. In addition, a male screw is formed on an outer surface of the inlet port 3, and a fastening nut 9 which is fastened to the inlet port 3 is provided on an inner surface of the body case 7. The fastening nut 9 is fixed to the inner surface of the body case 7. The water supply valve 1 is fixed to the body case 7 by the inlet port 3 is fastened to the fastening nut (9).
