Glue PVC or Press Fit?

[ScatMan]

what are your thoughts on press fitting -vs- gluing pvc?

i want to make this but i don't want to glue it in case i want to change it up later. there's no pressure in it so i thought it would be ok.


PRESS FIT: i don't know if this is the technical term for it or not, but i'm talking about when you just push the pvc pipes and fittings together without using glue.

ill press-fit pieces sometimes, especially if theyll be submerged or wont drip water on the floor, since many times it will leak if not glued. for any return line, definitely glue

If it won't have pressure on it and you don't mind it leaking when full of water press fit is fine. If it will be pressurized or somewhere you don't want a leak, definitely glue it. PVC is cheap, and I am of the "it's better to be safe than sorry" mentality!
