Try to use a hole saw that makes a hole just large enough for you to insert the fitting through the tote.
If you want to do a test run, you could use RTV silicone sealant-I use this on my system. If you let the sealant cure overnight, it will bond to both surfaces. The beauty of using it is that when I want to disassemble the piping, a pair of channel-locks will twist the piping right out of the fitting. A bit of removing old sealant and it's ready to reuse.

So you spread RTV (blue?) inside of the PVC fittings (Tee's and elbows ect) then insert the PVC and it adheres a solid bond w/ no leaks? That's cool. You don't use purple primer or cement at all? ..Am I understanding this correctly?

I just use generic clear bathtub caulk.
Apply a thin film on the joint surfaces and twist together.
Let it dry/cure overnight and it's like a rock.
