Yes, it doesn't matter if it's copper or PEX. Tubing is measured on the outside diameter (OD). So half inch cooper is the same OD as half inch PEX, and that's how these fittings seal--on the OD of the tubing. Just remember to wiggle the white plastic ID support (meant for the PEX tubing) out of the fitting before inserting the cooper tubing. Hal

This fitting will allow you to connect 1" PEX to 3/4" copper, but would not be able to adapt directly to your water meter. 3/4" copper has a .75" ID, while 1" PEX has a .862" ID and 3/4" PEX has a .671" ID.
The sharkbite fitting can be used for this conversion. They fit both copper and pex. IE 3/4" sharkbites fit both 3/4 pex and 3/4 copper. I have 3/4 pex connected to my main water supply to form a manifold, and 1/2 pex running from the manifold to all endpoints. The pressure/volume seems just fine. You might lose pressure if you convert to 1" even though you gain volume. I'm far from being a plumber but just my thoughts.
You could use this coupler to convert from copper to pex with out a problem. As far as supply goes. As long as your pressure is good from the street you would be fine replacing your main trunks inside your home with 1” or ¾” you would probably not notice a difference between the two except in price. Most homes are run in ½ pex with a 3/4” trunk. 1” would be overkill in my opinion. If your pressure is not good you can add booster pumps and reservoirs. PEX is the future of plumbing especially with the copper prices rising and theft. Hope this helps..
You would need to use a threaded SharkBite fitting to connect to threads on the galvanized pipe. The copper could connect to the SharkBite portion of the fitting.
In short, no. Galvanized pipe isn't generally uniform enough for Shark Bites and you need to use a dielectric union to avoid galvanic corrosion. Sent from my iPad
This part will fit 1" copper, PEX, or CPVC on one side and 3/4" copper, PEX, or CPVC on the other side.
