Looking to install a water softener in our house and I've never even touched one, let alone install one. I can do basic plumbing though and have installed a few water heaters so I think I can tackle this. Our house is plumbed for a softener too so that will help tremendously. Initially I thought I'd have to cut the PVC and glue a male threaded adapter
or use a Sharkbite and then a braided/flexible 3/4" x 3/4" pipe. Then when I looked at this odd combination of elbows, I thought are those 3/4" female NPT that I could thread directly into ? Or are they a non-standard thread only used with those elbows ?
