Get a CPVC female thread adapter - make sure you get the kind that has a

I have read that it is customary to use a male plastic thread adapter
and a female copper thread adapter. The idea is that since copper is
stronger than plastic, if you use a female plastic part, inserting the
male copper part may stretch the female plastic part, causing a future
leak. (Plumbing a House, by Peter Hemp, Chapter 4 "Joining Plastic
Pipe to Metal Pipe")
