: How do I join a copper water line with PVC? We are without water, please help.The best way to join the copper pipe with the pvc pipe is to sweat (solder) a female ips x female copper adapter to the copper pipe and then glue a male ips x female pvc adapter.You then end up with a female pve socket to glue to.I would order them as: (size) female copper adapter (size) male pvc adapterI saw two more before me and guess you got it fixed by now.Ray Gibson
