    Dehumidifier Drain Line

    I wasn't "fixated" I simply didn't understand from anything that had been said prior to TedL that the unit was not a single piece.

    Dehumidifier Drain Line

    Thank you, TedL. That was what I didn't understand. Sorry if it was obvious to everyone else. Neither the local Lowes nor ACE Hardware have a 1 1/4" threaded branched tailpiece. Is this online product the sort of thing that I need? Should I buy an 8" and cut it down, or will I be able to...

    Dehumidifier Drain Line

    I'm trying to connect a drain hose from my dehumidifier to the drain pipe under the sink. Here's a photo and a drawing (with measurements) of what it looks like currently under the sink. I'm a total beginner at plumbing, so appreciate any help. I've searched this forum, and others, looking for...
