I do have access to the sink shutoff valve. It appears to be attached to the
1/2" copper supply by a compression fitting. Coming of the valve are two 3/8"
flex copper pipes, attached to the valve by compression fittings. One for the
faucet and one for the dishwaser. Ideally, it would be nice to add a hammer
protector at the avlve, but it doesn't appear that those are available. At least
not off the shelf.

The dishwasher is around 5 years old, so that would certainly be a second
choice.

Thanks for the ideas!
