That depends upon the length and diameter of the pipe connecting to the hot water tank. Also, the greater the distance, the more hot/cold mixing will occur, resulting in even greater water loss.
Most copper household Plumbing pipe is 1/2" in diameter, and hot water pipes may range from 10' to 80', depending on angles and turns in the plumbing. An 80' pipe will hold about 2 gallons of water. This is water that was heated in the water heater, but upon setting in the pipe gave up all, or most, of its heat to its surroundings.
