Forza freshwater drain

[MattyA]

Hi. I’d like to attach a fitting to the freshwater drain pipe that pokes ~1.5” out the bottom of the coach. I’d use the fitting to periodically attach a garden hose so that when I wanted to dump the freshwater tank I could do so using a hose that could be routed to a specific location (my only other options appear to be dump under the coach or run all the fixtures using the water pump to get all the water into the gray tanks then dump).

Based on the parts catalog, looks like 3/4 ID PVC pipe (the parts catalog says “TUBING-PEX,3/4IDX20FT,BLUE”), I measured it as a little under 1” OD.

Two questions:

1. Anyone with a better idea as to how to dump freshwater tanks in a controlled / directed manner?

2. Anyone have the specs for, or link to, a good fitting and hose for this project? It is hard to find cheap 1” garden hose!! Most normal hose tops out at 3/4 ID which I doubt could be stretched to 1” to fit over the PVC freshwater outlet. I suspect there is something that will do the trick better.

Thanks!!

Could you use a water bandit adapter? 1.5" may be too short for a secure connection. Otherwise the big box hardware stores sell fittings to connect a water hose to either PVC or PEX.

I've done lots of fish raising/breeding where moving water is always a question and one way to get weird items tied together is plastic tubing with assorted adapters to get it to fit whatever.
Depending on how often and what it takes to get to the drain, etc. a thought might be to find a plastic tubing large enough to fit snug over the existing drain with a clamp to hold it tight and use that as a "fitting over a smaller drain tube instead of a hose?
If it is pex, is there enough end sticking out to squeeze on a male hose pex end ?
If it is PVC, I'm sure there is a way to add a male hose fittings by gluing it on.
This would be the quicker easier way ---if 3/4 PVC :

Maybe even run it to the RV side for ease of reach?
