Transition to PVC pipe from copper pipe by connecting a PVC threaded female adapter to a copper male threaded adapter. This connection allows you to use much less expensive PVC line to lay a sprinkler or irrigation system, a domestic water supply line or a swimming pool plumbing system.

How the fittings are installed on pipe depends on the material. For example, copper pipes are soldered together or joined with compression or flare fittings. Plastic pipes are joined with plastic screw-on fittings or PVC cement. In addition, transition fittings can be used to join plastic and metal pipes.
