The quick and easy way is to use a compression "Shark Bite" fitting. It slips onto the copper pipe and creates a tight fit. Then use a threaded or pex flex adapter for your for the connection.

Sweat on a male adapter to the copper pipe then just screw on the flex hose. You can also cut the pipe sweat on a tee then use a nipple and male adapter.

If you know how to solder, you could find a copper tubing-to thread conversion fitting at your local home center. simpler yet, just ask for a compression style fitting where all you'll need is a wrench.

With a commpression fitting found at Home Depot

With an IPS or FIPS adapter as Compression is not allowed in civilized countries or places that actually have some type of model plumbing codeANS 3 - You can join copper to PEX or other plastics of the same OD with compression fittings including Push style 'O' ringed fittings like 'Sharkbite'

- Consult your local Plumbing code or plumbing inspectors, -and don't be scared off by plumbing companies who have a vested interest in doing things the old-fashioned way.

In some applications, copper pipe can be TIG or MIG welded to copper pipe or to fittings. One example might be in antenna construction, but this is not what we usually encounter. Normally we braze or solder copper pipe to other copper pipe. We can also use a number of mechanical connections like compression fittings. Flare fittings are an example of this.

How do you join a large plastic pipe to a smaller copper pipe?

If it is a pressure pipe, you would reduce the plastic down to the copper pipes size with reducer fittings and then use one to go to copper. If a waste line and the difference is not too great, you can use a rubber coupling that is the right size on each end and held on with hose clamps.
