Tapping dehumidifer into sanitary standpipe for washing machine

I would use a few zip ties to attach the dehumidifier hose to the washing machine drain hose & skip the barbed fitting. See how it works out. Thats assuming the two hoses zip tied together will fit in the stand pipe.

If there isn’t room for the dehumidifier drain hose to be zip tied to the washer drain hose, increase the drain size for the last few inches.

Not sure how that would work. The washer drain hose enters the standpipe maybe 3’ off the ground. The dehumidifier drain starts like 8” off the ground and my understanding is it cannot have any rise to it.

The issue with this is height. See above but the entrance to the stand pipe is several feet higher than the dehumidifier drain starts at.

You need to add a photo of what you are tapping into for the best help.

Walls are open on one side. It’s in a basement with a concrete slab and I can see the sanitary line running along the floor and then turning a corner before turning out horizontal to the street through my yard. There is no additional P trap below or anything like that unless there is something happening in my yard. There is a P trap at the washer but again all above slab. But I assume that does not apply.

Cannot get good pictures at the moment without rearranging the utility room.

All connections would be accessible via the open walls as we plan to keep the utility room open for a while. Once construction on the house settles after a few years we may close it in. But right now we are need the utility room open to run additional plumbing/electrical/data etc.. to the rest of the house.

If it's a stand-alone plug-in dehumidifier, put it up higher so the drain hose can just go into the open drain next to the washer drain hose. Build a small shelf, or buy an unfinished upper cabinet from Home Depot for $100, paint or stain it, and set the dehumidifier on that.
