No, i dont mean to the overflow box, i dont glue anything internal there, that i know, i mean drains leading to sump, and at sump bulkhead. Do any of you glue these shown in pictures below. First pic is 3 drains (blue), main, secondary and emergency, second pic is return line (white) coming from return pump.

Ok, so that a no to gluing the drains, or are the drains not "contained" in the sump?

Since water is flowing into sump, I don't see how this would leak at bulkhead if I don't glue. Now the return pump is another thing, because water flow is exiting sump at that point, so there I would assume I should glue. Sorry if I am being naïve here, just want to get it right and make sure i understood your comment.

If the fitting comes apart where will the water go? If it is anywhere but the tank, overflow or sump use glue.
 
I would replace the bulkheads and use screw in bulkheads, and unions. That way with everything glued, you can still remove the sump without having to cut anything apart
