This page discusses working with threaded components but for some reason I'm understanding that your original metal line has broken and you're trying to patch.

Connecting PVC Pipe to Metal Pipe

It seems you'll either thread the existing metal or use some type of JB Weld product.
Thanx Stuart, but all this info is completely useless, as the fittings are for schedule 30-40 PVC pipe.
