You shouldn't.  See (info "(bash)Redirections") :

  #+begin_quote
    Bash handles several filenames specially when they are used in
    redirections, as described in the following table:

    [...]
    `/dev/tcp/HOST/PORT'
         If HOST is a valid hostname or Internet address, and PORT is an
         integer port number or service name, Bash attempts to open a TCP
         connection to the corresponding socket.
