To do that, you would have to have a massive tap set, a machinist might have those kind of tools.

Did you have to order it online, or did you just go to a home improvement store like lowes?

Its area dependent.
Not most lowes have it.
And as for safety, pressure rated ABS is overkill.
PVC is perfectly fine, but do whatever you want its your money/
