If it were mine I would use a 2" M.I.P adapter and then bush down to 3/4" with a ball valve and hose adapter. Probably PVC down to 3/4" and then solder the rest. Drill a hole in the cap and then needle nose to pull it out
 
Thanks for the reply.

Not familiar with plumbing parts terminology.

Attached image of PVC fitting, is this what you are referring to.
Though it does not have a female threaded end.

Trying to keep the faucet distance from tank as short as possible.

Just noticed the "common plumbing terms" thread at the top of the forum.

M.I.P. is a iron pipe adapter.

Found this on Amazon ... would this work ?

I would just use pipe dope on the threads.
