how do i do this?

I'm trying to build an antenna with a base section of pvc. I can use from



1/2" od to 1" od with no problems.

What I need to do is join a schedule 40 pvc nipple to a male 1"x14 threaded stud.



I don't believe any std pipe thread and size will match up with that.



If it won't, I thought about using 3/4" pvc and running a tap into the open end, and then screwing that down onto the male mounting stud (the 1" x 14).



Is a 1"x14 tap fairly common? Will my way work?



Anyone have an easier way?


Have looked for matching 3/4 or 1" connectors to interconnect pvc to galvanized pipe? I've never had a problem getting fittings in those sizes.

The tap will make for a weakened joint.
