Water Softener Bypass Valve

happs

I have an old two part water softener (separate brine tank and resin tank) with a Fleck 5600 valve and a relatively new (two years old) copper 3/4" bypass valve. My new water softener that's all one unit comes with a PVC 1" bypass valve. I would prefer to use my newer existing 3/4" bypass valve instead of the new 1" PVC one. How can I connect the new water softener to the old 3/4" copper bypass valve? What is the name of the adapter fitting(s) or part that I need?

If this can't be done or isn't recommended, how can I connect the new 1" pvc bypass valve to the existing 3/4" pipes?
