What is the best way - without soldering - to connect a 3/4" rigid copper

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

Thank you

as others have said, sharkbite ought to make a fitting that will turn
a plain copper pipe into a male 3/4" NPT then use a PVC FPT to glue
socket fitting, continue from there.

Personally I'd be tempted to just solder the one fitting onto the
copper rather than spending the $$$ for sharkbite, but then again I
have all the tools and supplies. If you need to buy all that stuff
and this is a one-off job the sharkbite starts to look like the most
economical solution.

If you don't have the soldering rig, a $7 Sharkbite is less than a burner, a
tank of fuel, solder, flux, and all the other stuff. A lot less.
