If you want it to stay in place and not leak, you will have to use PVC glue - there is no way around that.

You do not have to glue it - I would recommend not doing so.
Just get some PVC fittings, either male or female depending on the bulkhead, use solvent ends and pvc glue to attach fitting to both the bulkhead and the trickle plate connection.
Then use the appropriate flexible hose with a pvc pipe CLAMPED to the hose. Slip the pipe stub into the fitting and clamp it.
This way you can make changes and take it apart later on.
Confused - let me know I can show you a pic.
Later
