the intent was to use the washing machine supply hose as a ready made short section of hose that already has a standard hose bib thread...my water heater drain is not easily accessed because of its location... remove the supply hose from supply faucet and from the washing machine... attach it to the drain faucet (mine has a hand valve)on the hot water tank... open a water spigot in the house to relieve any vacuum in the hot water tank... this presupposes that you occasionally flush your hot water tank to remove sand that builds up in the bottom
Ahh! Now I understand... Our washer is nearly impossible to get to if you want to remove a hose, while the hot water heater is in a nice open space in the basement----just the opposite of your set up it sounds like. On my heater, you can just put a teapot or other small container under the bottom spigot and take what you need...
