A hose guide for a pull-down faucet, the faucet comprising a spout having a hose disposed therein and a pull-out spray head coupled to and in flow communication with the hose and configured to dock to an end of the spout; wherein the hose guide is generally U-shaped and is configured to guide the hose against an interior surface thereof during extension and retraction of the spray head; and wherein the hose guide comprises two or more tabs extending from a lower end of the U-shaped hose guide; and/or an attachment element configured to affix the hose guide to an interior wall of the spout or to an interior wall of an assembly disposed in the spout; and/or a convex parabolic-shaped portion at the interior surface of the lower end of the U-shape.

A faucet includes a faucet body and a faucet spray head being movable from a retracted position adjacent the faucet body, and an extended position away from the faucet body. In the retracted position, the faucet spray head has at least one aligned position with the faucet body. The faucet includes an alignment coupling. The alignment coupling includes first and second alignment elements connected to the faucet body and the faucet spray head, respectively, to align the spray head with the faucet body. The faucet includes a retention coupling that is configured to retain the faucet body and the faucet spray head immediately adjacent one another. The retention coupling includes first and second retention elements connected to the faucet body and the faucet spray head, respectively. The retention coupling is separate from the alignment coupling, and at least one of the first or second retention elements is a magnet.

A faucet spray head magnetic docking system includes a socket that couples to an end of the spout, and a bonnet that couples to the spray head and that engages with the socket. The socket includes a shell configured to be arranged in the mouth of the spout, and integrated with one or more magnetic elements. The magnetic elements may be inserted into corresponding holes of the socket shell. Alternatively, the magnetic elements may be incorporated directly into the shell. The bonnet includes a threaded portion for coupling to corresponding threads of a connector at the spray head, and includes one or more corresponding magnets configured to magnetically attract to the magnetic elements of the socket.

A water outlet for installation in a recess in a wall having an inner pipe designed as a throughflow pipe, an outer pipe designed as an outflow pipe, where the outer pipe partially surrounds the inner pipe, and a connection unit has a connection plate and a bezel where the inner pipe is arranged on the connection plate, and the bezel is arranged around the outer pipe at a distance from the connection plate, where the outer pipe is displaceable along a longitudinal axis, and a fixing means is provided, by which a previously adjusted relative position between the inner pipe and the outer pipe can be fixed, where the fixing means is arranged between the connection plate and the bezel.

A pull-out faucet includes a faucet spout, a braided hose that is movably disposed in the faucet spout, a coupling member that is disposed in the faucet spout and hermetically connected to an outlet end of the braided hose, and a fixing assembly. The fixing assembly includes a fixing seat disposed in the faucet spout, a first fixing member secured in the fixing seat, and a second fixing member having a magnetic attraction with the first fixing member. The fixing seat has a central first through hole. The second fixing member is installed on the coupling member. The coupling member is attracted and secured on the fixing assembly.

A positioning hose structure for a pull-out faucet contains: a body, a supply pipe, a fitting sleeve, a flexible hose, a guide element, a slide member, and a spring. The body includes a locking portion, and the supply pipe includes an extension, an opening, a defining portion, and a screw element. The fitting sleeve includes a hollow connection tube having a through hole, a receiving orifice, a shoulder, multiple protrusions, and multiple guiding slots. The flexible hose includes a joining portion and a water supply head. The guide element includes a fixing orifice having a positioning portion, and the guide element further includes multiple first ribs and a first toothed portion. The slide member includes multiple second ribs, a second toothed portion, and a protruded tab. The spring is accommodated in the receiving orifice and abuts against the shoulder and the protruded tab.

A soft-close pull-out faucet is disclosed. In one aspect, a faucet includes a faucet base, a faucet spout, and a spray head movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A hose extends through the faucet spout and connects to a water source and a spray head. A magnet is connected to the hose. A ring collar is fixed at least partially within the faucet spout and is formed of a non-ferretic and non-magnetic conductive material. The hose and the magnet are movable relative to the ring collar, and the magnet is positioned at least partially within the ring collar when the spray head is located in the retracted position.

A retractable hose structure of a pull-out faucet contains: a body, a supply pipe, a flexible hose, and a spring. The body includes a locking portion. The supply pipe is hollow and includes a defining portion, an opening, and a screw element. The flexible hose is slidably received in the supply pipe and includes a slide portion and a water supply head. The water supply head is locked with the opening and is pulled outward with the flexible hose. The spring is accommodated in the supply pipe and is fitted on the flexible hose, and at least one non-metallic insulation layer is defined between the spring and the supply pipe. When pulling the water supply head outward, the spring is actuated by the flexible hose to retract. When releasing the water supply head, the spring drives the water supply head to move back to an original position.
