Currently, I use a PVC "collar" type fitting. Sorry - long tired day, so I
can't remember it and can't seem to find it online. But it basically is a
threaded PVC pipe that allows you to take your pump out etc without gluing
up PVC pipe to it. The bad thing is that if you tighten too much it leaks
... tighten too little it leaks. It is hard to tighten because it gets
slippery etc.

Teflon tape cures leaking through the thread.
