We had one of these dryers.

Ideally for each machine you need a vertical section of pipe with a U bend on the bottom. The U bends are joined to a horizontal pipe which goes out to the drain. the vertical pipes stop level with the top of the machine and the outlet pipe is hooked in the top and fixed to the wall.

However ...

The output from our condensing dryer was just a trickle so if the above isn't possible for some reason then you could probably share the one downpipe and U-bend.

Stand pipe should be a maximun 33"-35" not the top of the machine, see instructions that come with the appliance for exact height

Generally speaking it should be about 2" (50mm) below the top.
I was told why by someone but that was far too long ago for my brain cell  Grin
