You could probably use a rubber fitting, (with
screw type band) but eventually it would fail.

How much room do you have? If it sticks out
enough to bother you, I would think you would have
enough room to cut it off and thread it. You
don't need much to cut the pipe off with a small
hack saw. Also, you can get pipe thread tools
that need only 8" or so of swing (one arm that you
keep turning in the same direction via a ratchet
mechanism).
