It is exactly as you describe. You mention using push-fit connectors -
any specific manufacturer or will any do?

Another (slightly kludgey) method would be the universal transition
fittings designed for use on MDPE pipe. (see BES order code 13544 for
example). These take typically 25mm MDPE in one end and a range of all
sorts up the other (lead, steel, copper, plastic) in a range of sizes.
You would then need to convert back from the MDPE to copper - but that
is straightforward.
