Abstract: A water valve assembly for a laundry appliance includes a body portion having first and second ends. A port is positioned at the first end of the body portion and is configured to be coupled with a water supply. An elongated nozzle extends from the second end of the body portion. The elongated nozzle defines a continuous channel in communication with an open end positioned to align with a top opening of a washtub. A retention feature is configured to receive a flow deflector. The body portion, the port, the elongated nozzle, and the retention feature are integrally formed as a single piece.
