How do you connect a brass ball valve to pvc pipe?

Like the title says, how do you connect a brass ball valve to pvc pipe? Is it threaded, or do you use some sort of glue?

Thanks

some are threaded, some are solvent weld varieties, it says that in the mini pneumatic post

You will need a male adapter to glue on the pvc pipe and screw the other end in the ball valve ( if the vall is threaded).

There are essentialy 3 ways to connect PVC to brass:
Tap a threaded hole in your PVC, making your own threads.
Use threaded reducing bushings/adapters to get threads.
Use compression couplings or something to connect normal PVC pipe to normal brass pipe. (do these exist? I don't know, but probably...)
...in rough order of my preference.
