Your poly to cpvc should work fine for pvc if you use a mulit-purpose cement as shown in the image. CPVC is suitable for water coming out your house faucets. PVC is for garden hose bibs or other non-potable water use. This cement may be approved by a building inspector, but I have found that it woks fine.

Also, Gatorbite push fittings will work on gray PB pipe. You can get one that goes to pipe thread, and then use the appropriate pvc fitting to match up.

Like JD said about the pipping, but if you are going to use the PVC for your water lines you should use CPVC not PVC. Better yet go to PEX.
