How to plumb a dual sink with dishwasher

So I'm remodeling my kitchen with stuff from Ikea. A contractor that was re-tiling my master bath took off my old shut off valves and put in new compression 1/4 turn valves. They are 3/8 X 1/2.

Now i'm looking to add like a T fitting to connect another compression shutoff valve for the dishwasher so I would still have water going to the faucet in case I needed to do repairs or remove the dishwaser.

My contractor recommended the T fitting and i'm pretty sure he said I would need a compression T fitting. However when I went to home depot I found one that looked to have a threaded end on each end with a nut and a mini cylinder tube sticking out each end as well.

Is this what I need? I'm not sure that the T fitting I was looking at would connect to the thread from the hot water shutoff valve that he installed. As it would be two thread joining together with that nut being the only thing holding it together.

It seems like I would need a T fitting with a 3/8 female or nut end to thread to my existing shutoff valve.

Basically I'm looking to split the hot water line after the shutoff valve and connect another shutoff valve to the line going to the dishwasher and have the other line connect to the faucet.

Any help would be appreciated.

They make double stops with two handles and two 3/8" outlets.

I don't see many good ways to tee off and single shutoff and have a separate shutoff.

That's an idea, although due to it being a condo we'd have to have them shut off the water to the whole building it seems as that is what he had them do when he replaced the shutoff valves.

I was thinking something like this..

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
