HOSE GUIDE FOR SHOWER FAUCET

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome a problem such that a shower faucet and an electric water heater are hard to install in conjunction with each other because a hose guide and the electric water heater interfere with each other in a washstand for a cold temperature area. SOLUTION: The hose guide G, which is formed in a wholly cylindrical manner and wherein a slip-off preventing part 12 for a hose 5 is provided in a proper place of an inner peripheral surface, is disposed within a cabinet 1 of the washstand X equipped with the shower faucet S. The preventing part 12 is composed of an inlet part 13 and a locking part 14, a width of the inlet part 13 is set to be smaller in dimension than an outside diameter of the hose 5, and an inside diameter of the locking part 14 is set to be slightly larger than the outside diameter of the hose 5. The inlet part 13 of the preventing part 12 can be elastically expanded/contracted in a width direction. There is no possibility of separation of the hose 5 from the preventing part 12 during longitudinal movement by a pull-out operation of a water discharge part 4. When the hose 5 is removed from the preventing part 12, application of force to the hose 5 can force the hose 5 to pass through the inlet part 13.
