I am installing an in-line water meter. The tee is a CPVC fitting, but the water line is PVC. Can I couple the CPVC tee with the main PVC water line.

Except they are different sizes! You will need a transition adapter to size down the pvc to CPVC size.

Yeah, I'd purchase a threaded CPVC adapter (see image) and then purchase a threaded PVC fitting for the transition!. quick and easy to do!
