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.
Flare copper pipe and use a flared shutoff valve. If valve isn't flared, use an adapter fitting between copper flared pipe and valve.
It is a copper pipe used in plumbing.
Yes it can. helium will not react chemically with copper.
The advantages of copper pipe fittings over plastic is that copper does not bend or break as easily as plastic, so it lasts longer and is much more reliable as well.

I have recently had to join a 1 inch steel water pipe to a new copper 28mm pipe. You can do this using a 28mm comression joint. 1inch is just uneder 28mm in diameter but the compression joint takes up the difference and works without fault or leaks.
A threaded copper fitting on the copper side, male or female, and the galvanized is screwed into it.
By use of male or female, teflon paste or tape or leak block and then use A COPPER X MALE OR COPPER X fEMALE ADAPTER
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.
A copper pipe is a conductor :) x
I am sorry, but can you PLEASE rephrase your question? Can WHAT be used for copper pipe? When? How? Why?
Grooved method? Threads on the end of the pipe? There is no tube or pipe in copper with threads. You can end a copper pipe with a connection that is threaded to accept steel pipe.
It is very easy to damage any copper pipe.
YOU thread or braze copper pipe Copper tubling you solder, braze, flaire, compression ring, mechincal joints
no
Galvanized pipe will be silver/gray color. Copper will be copper. Use a magnet, it'll stick to galvanized pipe but not to copper. Drinking water lines should not be black steel pipe.
Yes
