What you are looking for is called a transition union. Here is an example
one:

Solder a male threaded end on the pipe then thread a PCV female adapter onto
that.

$4.29 !

You're getting hozed. A copper male (Slp-NPT 1/2") and PVC (NPT-Slp) female
coupling will cost about $1.80 and you can get them at any hardware store.

The link is for a brass fitting which can be disassembled "in situ" which my
solution cannot be. If I needed to repair the union, I would just cut the
PVC pipe and use a straight union ($0.29) to join it back together later.

Is that because if the plastic expands it will be confined by the copper
female fitting

Solder a male threaded end on the pipe then thread a PCV female adapter
onto that.
Never, NEVER, thread a metal male adapter into a female plastic adapter.
The metal male adapter will expand the plastic female adapter and cause you
major problems down the road.
