Unimogbert... I made my hot water drain hose by chopping off the end of the garden hose, and adding a repair kit for the coupling...the location of the drain on the water heater makes it difficult to connect the hose in a direct line...the washing machine supply hose has a built in 90, which makes the installation in my situation much easier... I was just passing on an observation that there was a premade solution to my problem...I know everyone's situation is different... I was just offering a suggestion...
