You see and hear water flowing out of it's drain tube into the floor drain.
Yes, you can use a boiler drain valve for a washing machine, but it's not the most common choice. Boiler drain valves are designed to release water from heating systems and may not be as efficient for washing machines, which typically use standard hose connections. Ensure the valve is compatible with the washing machine's water supply requirements and that it can handle the pressure and flow rates involved. It's advisable to consult a plumber or the manufacturer's guidelines for the best fittings.
There should be a drain valve on the boiler. Drain it to the desired water level there.
CBD, or Chemical Boiler Draining, is used to depressurize a boiler after a hydraulic test to safely remove excess pressure and ensure the system is secure for further operations. This process helps in identifying any potential leaks or weaknesses in the boiler's structure. By utilizing CBD, operators can efficiently and safely drain water and contaminants from the system while minimizing the risk of damage or accidents. Ultimately, it prepares the boiler for maintenance or re-commissioning.
If there is no drain valve at the radiator you can drain the system at the drain valve on the boiler

Drain it to the correct level so its good

To drain your boiler and prevent it from freezing, first turn off the power and water supply to the boiler. Then, open the drain valve located at the lowest point of the system, allowing the water to flow out completely. Additionally, open the air vent or bleed valves on radiators to help release any trapped air and ensure all water is drained. Finally, consider adding antifreeze specifically designed for heating systems, if applicable, to protect against freezing.

Not for the faint of heart! For a Combi/Evaporation boiler: Switch off the boiler. Take a reading of the boiler water pressure gauge. Shut off the radiator's thermostat valve(if fitted)/supply valve and return valves, connect a hose to the drain and put the other end into a large container below the level of the bottom of the radiator. Open the draincock first and then the air bleed valve and let the radiator drain. Close the draincock. When refilling the radiator put the anti-corrosion treatment in first then open the thermostat valve and return valve as wide as possible. when the air is expelled, close the air bleed screw. Using the fill loop restore boiler pressure. Put all thermostat valves(if fitted) to max and fire up the boiler. After the boiler has run for 10 minutes, switch off, or so go to the highest radiator and bleed out the air. WARNING: the water/steam will be very hot and likely to spit. Use a cloth as a barrier and to mop up any spills. Recheck the boiler pressure and top up as necessary.
During wet preservation, fill the boiler completely with water and add a suitable chemical corrosion inhibitor. For dry preservation, thoroughly drain the boiler and use desiccants or nitrogen gas to remove any remaining moisture. Additionally, ensure all openings are sealed to prevent moisture ingress during both wet and dry preservation methods.
YUP Just make sure there is an air gap in the washing machine
