ABSTRACT:
A faucet assembly includes a faucet hub, a hose, a hose retraction mechanism and a storage bag for storing any slack in the hose. The faucet hub includes at least one hose guide that is used to reduce the amount of wear on the hose. The retraction mechanism allows the hose to extend from the faucet hub. Once in the extended position, the retraction mechanism is configured to lock the hose in the extended position. Upon actuation by the user, the retraction mechanism can retract the hose back inside the faucet hub.
