I'm wondering how best to connect 3/4" copper which comes in above my new Fleck 5600SXT system to a 3/4" Fleck stainless steel bypass valve. I'm not afraid to sweat copper, and installed the last softener that way. But I'm thinking that maybe a little flex in the line could be a good thing. I don't have experience with flexible water connectors other than the braided lines to fixtures and toilets, and I don't know if I trust the push on connectors.
How about something like this from Falcon, which has a sweat connection at the copper:

Also, I will need a nipple at the bypass valve. Should I use stainless or is brass OK?
Thanks.
