I just replaced the outlet Baffle with a Polylok adapter, 4" Schedule 40 PVC Tee and fittings. I glued all of the joints except the one where the red arrow is. The thought is that the T can be removed later if necessary. Any thoughts on if this is a good or bad idea?

It needs to be glued or it will fall out into tank. Then there will be a whole world of hurt.
 
Obviously that is the risk. But what would make it fall into the tank? It's a pretty tight friction fit. What forces are expected to push it out?
