No...........that can't pull out of a wall. NO.

If you want no hose, don't have a hand held attachment in your shower. If you need only up/down capability, get an adjustable slide

They don't make shower hoses like that for good reason, including the fact that there would be no way to attach or replace the hose unless the wall was open. As Jan suggests, do without a shower hose or ignore it.

I like the way you think outside the box! Probably not retractable into wall but with some of the modern euro look shower panels and towers that fit over tile they'll likely come out with one in which the hose hides behind the panel. Although I love my hand held and don't see it as an eyesore. The dog loves it, too.

No way to hide a hose, but there are showers that can be raised and lowered, if that's your main goal. I have one, although I bought it for water conservation reasons and got the height range as a bonus: Nebia. Of course, there is a hose to the hand/supplementary sprayer, so it doesn't get rid of that issue entirely.

But it can be slid low enough to be just over the head of my young daughter, and also high enough for a very tall user.

You mean like this system from Kanth London?

Kanth Retractable Units (KRU)

The unique, dual function KRU retractable shower is a true industry first. Performing as both an overhead shower and a handset with a retractable hose which is completely hidden from sight.

The patented design is minimal and contemporary, with no compromise in its engineering. Years of research, testing, and refinement has resulted in a product that is not only beautiful in its form, but which has been created to deliver optimum levels of usability and maintenance.

Patents for the KRU were granted in 2011.

"if you actually want that hole in your shower waterproofing layer to inside your walls with your wood framing..."

I thought that the product didn't seem like a good idea either but the webpage says,

• "Each unit is designed to be easily accessible for those occasions when the shower hose needs replacing, and each product has a built-in drain."

So apparently, the hose isn't inside shower wall but is inside a drain-equipped unit that is in front of the shower wall...I guess. Probably can't buy it in the US anyway.

Seems to me any really "clever" idea that wasn't invented here, would soon be adapted /adopted in the USA......and someone would be making one here. The earth is pretty darn flat. The patent was 2011.If not, there's probably a reason.

Jan Moyer for a pro you should be more open minded to innovation. Geez, I came here with the exact same question as OP and was expecting an intelligent discussion of possibilities, not a condescending attack!

I don't make the plumbing. Get a slide, or live with the hose. Or don't have a hand held? Because I don't know of one in the USA.- wall depth, leaks, who knows the reason? We aren't very clever? Given we put a man on the moon, if it was 2011 fantastic, we would have it.

There was no condescending anything in my comment. We have none in the USA. Simple fact. But keep looking! !!

@thisisnotadrill thanks for the suggestion! I like the idea. It will keep the hose out of sight until needed.

@thisisnotadrill You totally helped me. Thanks!!!

So glad I helped!

We do have this in the US - they're called deck mounted instead of wall mounted.

Well, Jan, the reason I want one that is wall mounted and retractable, is so that I can put it on my wall by my bathtub so that I can rinse off after my bath. I don't want the hose hanging down from the wall and into my bathtub. If we can deck mount a retractable hose in the US (something we've been doing with kitchen sink spray nozzles since the 70s), why wouldn't we be able to do wall mount a retractable hose? Seems logical to me. AND you could easily have an access panel on the back of the wall to fix any potential leaks.

I know this is an old thread but I too was trying to think what to do with the hose as I a getting one for my bath as well. The free standing bath is easy as it can hang behind but the built in bath is the tricky one. I really want the kids to give themselves a rinse so they don't soak in their filth :) Someone said they have one and love to sit on the edge of their bath and use it to shave their legs. They are also handy to use to clean the bath but I do not want the hose hanging in the way. The retractable one will not match the rest of my brushed chrome fittings. Any other ideas how to make the hose keep out of the way when not using it.

Thank you. I have just opted to get a permanent one and let the lead hang in the bath.

I’ve thought about this a lot being in the kitchen and bath industry and what I’ve come up with is using the easy drain tile in shower niche and building the hand shower into the box so you can shut the door and hide the hand shower. The Niche door is tiled so you do even know it’s there. I will be doing this in my bath remodel next year.

great idea… im going to do this for our outdoor shower first!! we need plumbing to be inside wall 100%. so nothing freezes . thanks

the lady that said no… dont listen to her…
