Im trying to replace my home water heater and have run into a new problem. My homes copper pipes coming out of the wall are both 1" diameter. All of my hoses, compression nuts etc.... are 3/4" threaded. I can't seem to locate any 1" compression nuts to 3/4 threaded so I can use the connection lines to water heater. Any ideas???
 
This would probably be easiest for you

I would prefer to solder a 1” female sweat x 3/4” mip adapter onto the copper.
Thank you for the idea. I prefer to use the compression fittings when possible, but have had good luck i the past with shark bite stuff. I hate trying to sweat fittings then going back and trying to redo them when they leak at first test. Just not very good at sweating pipe.
