Put the shock arrestor as close as possible to the valve causing the hammer. All the water that is rushing towards the steam shower needs a place to slow down when the valve suddenly closes. FYI More modern valves on dish and clothes washers(etc) have "characterized" poppets that close more softly Lewis Kennedy
We would recommend that you install the part in the location you described.
SharkBite fittings are neither threaded nor sweat. They push right onto copper, PEX, or CPVC without the need for any tools. Please refer to the following instructions for more information: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1267479776397/27369_PROD_FILE.pdf
It is always a good idea to use a water hammer arrestor to absorb the shock and vibration in your system.
