Dishwasher install leads to water hammer.

Some codes like the UPC, require hammer arrestors on devices that have quick closing valves.
In a home, that would be
Ice Maker
Dishwasher
Washing Machine

I've also installed them in commercial bathrooms that use Flushometers.
Why have constant banging pipes if it can be avoided?
