Plumber?
@ moms for the holidays…she has 1/2inch PVC from water heater to lavatory, hot and cold, both 1/2 inch pvc fittings to valves are cross threaded, instead of replacing the PVC fittings I want to sweat copper from water heater, and cold feed to lavatory what fitting do I need to go from PVC to copper thread? or should I just cut the pvc where it is cross threaded and replace the 1/2inch slip joint to thread fitting?

1/2″ male PVC thread and a 1/2″ female copper
Glue the PVC and then thread on the copper and go from there.
You can also use a compression coupling, 5/8″ OD.Or you could use a ball valve with the same compression fittings on each end. If you choose this method of repair, be sur eto use a little pipe joint compund on ferrels and threads of compression fittings.It makes them tighten much easier.Also be sure not to over tighten end that cpvc goes in to. Good luck.
