What is the best way - without soldering - to connect a 3/4" rigid copper
pipe *to 3/4" PVC 40?

If there is no good way, what do I need to buy to make a solder joint?

Thank you

One way is good, the other problematic....
Metal male thread & PVC female thread invites a splitting failure.

The reverse is more robust,

oops!

already posted....

plus don't used those wimpy slip to male thread PVC fittings
Use a 6" long SCH 80 3/4" threaded PVC nipple, cut it in half and
attach it to the PVC pipe with a coupling.

MUCH stronger

As others have said....SharkBites.

btw (OP) that would be copper tube not pipe.

cheers
