Thanks for the input, guys. Here's the whole situation...
I've used the threaded fittings that just push onto the copper loop (once I cut the loop. Then, I used Teflon tape on the PVC elbows and glued the rest of the plumbing. I actually placed the softener about 10 feet from the "loop" because it put it in a more out of the way place. I couldn't put the softener right in front of the loop because the softener's bypass valve was higher than the loop, so the loop would have hit the tank. I didn't want to put it to the right of the loop because that's right next to the door into the house. It seemed to me like it would be in the way there. And, I didn't want to put it to the left of the loop because I was afraid the car door would hit the softener when opened. So, I placed the softener near the big garage door in the corner of the garage. I ran the PVC from the loop, down the wall, across the bottom of the sheet rock, and back up the wall behind the softener. I use 2 hole straps to secure the pipes, too. (Personally, I thought I did a pretty good job, except for the small leak.) I'll try to get some pics this weekend so you have a better idea of what I'm talking about.

( he has remodled two bathrooms for my family and does outstanding work) besides he stands on street corners with a sign saying " I will work for frags". All kidding aside he is a great plumber and treats every job like it was being done in his own house.
