Should I glue my tank plumbing?

[Malibu361]

Ok, I got a new rr 90 Gal and it came with the plumbing but the plumbing is not glued ..My question is should I glue my return and overflow kit or leave it pressed togther ?The rest of my undertank plumbing (PVC)of course will be glued? Just curious ..Thanks Sal

if your talking about the plumbing inside the overflow...then most or all people dont glue it for maintenance reasons or if you ever need to remove it...

Yes, exactly what I mean thanks

recently bought a tank where everything was glued had to throw it all out when i moved it.

Here is another plumbing question ..I went to Lowes today to buy 2 threaded bulkhead adapters so I can run my 1 " pipes into both bulkheads and when I went to thread the adapters onto the bulkheads they only went on about 4 or 5 threads then got jammed up real bad .I was able to get them off but is this normal for pvc to bulkheads and how much thread should I have ?I would deff. say more that 4or5 is there any type of pvc lube or something else ? Or would 4-5 be ok for the bulkheads ? It just doent seem right..Thanks Sal
