Default hot water heater blow off valve

i have a new tank and would like to run any eventual output from the valve
into my sump pump (about a 7' run).

the valve's got a 3/4 female end. i'd like to use pex, but i don't have a
tool, nor the fittings.

i have a suitable piece of 1/2" pex. i know the pex should go around a
connector and would be help in place with a ring that is pushed into place.


can i get away with stepping down the 3/4 to a 3/8" barrel which i'd insert
into the 1/2 pex and hold in place with a hose connector? i don't think the
output will be under severe pressure, and this is a simple solution.

thots? thanks
