It depends on the size of PVC. For smaller PVC you can buy fittings that glue onto the PVC and allow a thread x barb fitting to be installed. For larger pipe you should get a brass compression fitting that clamps down on the PVC and adapts to a thread x barb fitting.

You can not glue brass directly to PVC pipe. Use male/female adapters to join these two materials. ie, a male threaded PVC end fitting glued to the PVC pipe and a female threaded brass fitting screwed onto that.
