Washer standpipe issue

I am installing a standpipe for a washer connection, but the vertical 4 inch drain I have to tie into turns out the side wall above the floor level. I believe the tee will result in the horizonal pipe after the standpipe and trap will be about 20 inches off the floor. I can put the washer on a platform, but I need to know the minimum variance from the top of the stack and horizonal line. Help please!
