Can a built-in dishwasher be installed to share the washer hookup and drain pipe?

Because of the way my house is, this is my only option. Portable dishwashers are too expensive and my sink looks too old to be compatible with a dishwasher anyway. There is no place by the sink for a built-in, but there is by the washer.

1. yes it is possible, if you have access to your standpipe you'll have to cut a tee in and get from two in pvc or whatever it is and bush it down to a 3/4 barb fitting you also won't need to trap it because the standpipe should already have a trap on it. the tricky part is getting it water. you have a hose connection at your washer you 'll have to figure out a way to put a tee off the valve and get it down to 3/8 connection but still allowing a the washer hose to be attached also. i'm sure home depot has some fitting that can do it. also don't forget about the electric it needs at least 110 if you have an outlet close you can wire a plug to it and run it off of that.
