Everbilt 3/8 - 7/8 in. Stainless Steel Hose Clamp

I put together a 3/8" barb to 3/4" FHT adapter, 3/8" inner diameter braided tubing (doesn't have to be braided) and a tube clamp so I wouldn't need to screw a 3/4" garden hose directly to the drain connector on the back of the dehumidifier. See attached pic.

With some hoses there's not a female connector that turns independently of the entire hose when connecting to the dehumidifier. It can also keep the drain nozzle from being stressed during the hose connection process or when the dehumidifier is moved. I recently found that the connector built into a leaking $1,300 Aprilaire dehumidifier of mine had cracked because of it. The whole unit has to be replaced. Fortunately Aprilaire is willing to do so at no cost but it's been informative for me.

Refrigerator I understand, it cannot be knocked around but dehumidifiers?
At my previous house, I had the dehumidifier in the basement (man cave TV room) and the hose went to a drain hole in the far corner.
At my current house, there is not basement because it's a single story 3-bedroom house. There are no drain holes on the floor. I've been trying to come up with a solution for that, instead of emptying the humidifier water bottle manually...
Thanks!
But at that point, the condensate pump is an additional ~50 dollars.
It was worth it to me because I already had a dehumidifier without one, and I needed to dehumidify our crawl space. But if I buy another, I may just buy one with a pump built in...
