I believe what he is saying is that the pan edge
is so close to the drain connection that he can't
get a hose on it. That's why I suggested a 90deg
elbow that's available in the garden supplies might
be an option.

I read it that way. However, most (all?) tank hose bibs are ~ 10-12
inches up the side and not where a drain pan would interfere with the
ability to drain the tank with a hose connection.

I just did an image search. Not all hose bibs are that high up. I have no
idea how old this unit is, but there were other images of low hose bibs.

Then the question becomes: how deep it the drain pan?

OP has started another thread.
