I'm trying to figure out how to hook my hot water supply up to my new bosch 500 dishwasher. I have this hose, which does fit the dishwasher:
And attached are images of the hot water shutoff valve under the sink that was hooked up to an old dishwasher and removed by someone else. I have no idea what fitting to get to make these fit, the supply hose I have is too small, can I can't tell what size this outlet is or what combination of parts I need.
I am thinking it might need a compression nut + pipe that then goes into the angle it came with, with another compression nut… but I could be wrong. Please help! It's a somewhat old valve, the house was built in 1989, I would prefer not to have to replace it if I can help it. Or maybe I need a different supply hose?
Edit: I think this is actually the valve that this one is, the other 2 above it are smaller and appear to be the 3/8" variety, but I think the one below it is just an older version of this:

I was going to guess the valve outlet is 1/2" compression (if threads are very close together). If not, the it's 1/2" pipe thread. There are no supply lines for 1/2" compression at hardware stores these days. If it is pipe thread, then you're in luck and a different hose can be substituted. Otherwise you'll have to replace the valve. I recommend getting a 1/4 turn valve. They last longer and are more durable, easier and quicker to turn off.
To make your life easiest, I strongly recommend replacing the valve. You will need a 1/4-turn, 1/2-inch pipe inlet and get a 3/8 compression outlet. Most faucets and dishwasher hoses will use 3/8".
Btw, the above brass adapter will not work on your valves if the outlet on the valve is 1/2" compression. You'll have to find a 1/2" female compression yo s 3/8 female compression, which is basically a hose, not an Adapter. You won't find this as an adapter at the hardware store.
