1/4" NPT fitting to PVC

[RatLabGuy]

I need a link/pointer on where to find an adapter to tap a 1/4" NPT fitting into an existing 3/4" CPVC water line.
Adding one of these pressure gauges

to the main line at home.

Surprisingly difficult to find a part to do this.

Should be pretty easy. Go to Lowe's. Get a 3/4 T and piece everything else together. They have NPT adapters that fit PVC

Probably a half inch adapter is the smallest you'll get in pvc at lowes. Just get a brass 1/2 to 1/4" reducer bushing to go between the two and you're done.

OK so that's the thing, yes I expect this to be really easy.
However they don't seem to have any adapters that go from 1/2" PVC to 1/4" NPT, neither did HD. I even had a guy look for me.
Maybe I'm just retarded though.
That's basically what I'm asking for.

1/2" PVC to some size pipe thread, then adapt it down to whatever you need for the gauge. You should be able to get a 1/2" PVC to 1/2" NPT or maybe 3/8" NPT.

Get a 3/4" cpvc tee then run about 6" of pipe and put a 3/4" brass X cpvc female on it. Then from there get a 3/4" x 1/4" bushing. I would do it in brass though.

Reduce down to 1/2" pipe. If using CPVC, glue a short piece inside a fitting (tee, coupling, etc.) flush with the end of the fitting. Tap it for 1/4" NPT and you are good to go. If using PVC do the same, but tap it for 3/8" NPT. If you are worried the joint may be weak, put a hose clamp around it. I've done this many times and it works well.

PVC pipe threads are standard pipe thread, same as steel pipe. If you can adapt from CPVC to PVC, then you are nearly there
