Bryan, I threaded and glues the fitting in place. The tube is only 1/8", so threading alone wouldn't be enough. My last reactor just got glued without threading the hole.
I am leery of trusting threads in material 1/8" thick even with glue. In my experience they can be prone to leaks if they get bumped around. I think I will build a "n" shaped box and mount the inlet from the bottm using a bulkhead fitting. takes some off the height but gives me piece of mind.
