Hi everyone,
To provide context of where this is coming from, I am working on building an aeroponic system, with an external reservoir and pump. The external reservoir contains nutrient solution that is pumped to a few dozen crates via inlet pipes (inlet, from the pov of the crates). As an Aeroponic system is a closed-loop system, there's a need to drain the nutrient solution back to the external reservoir.
For drainage purposes, I have drilled holes at the bottom of my crates, through which I intended to fit either PVC pipes or garden hoses, that would then drain back to the external reservoir.
My question is, what is the best way to fit a pipe/hose to an orifice at the bottom of a crate, such that it's a good, solid fit without leak and with the fit not coming off loose even if there's a substantial volume of water (and hence a large weight) acting on it.
Please note that the pipe cannot protrude deep into the crate, as for drainage purposes, the level of the pipe's opening has to be at the same level as the interior floor of the crates.

Need help with fitting an exhaust pipe/hose to the bottom face of a crate.
