I would like to move my water softener closer to the wall, but due to the flexible copper hose that is connected to the water softener, it makes it difficult. I thought about putting a 1" male thread to 1" female thread elbow at the connection towards the house, to allow the flexible copper hose to be bent in a way that would allow me to have the water softener unit close to the wall. The problem is that finding a copper or brass 1" male thread to female thread elbow that is allowed for potable water is becoming challenging. Can I attach a PVC elbow to the copper fittings and the copper flexible hose, or is this not suggested/allowed?
FYI - I am trying to avoid having to cut or solder any attachments or pipes.
