You should NEVER use teflon tape on a plastic fitting. REPEAT NEVER!

As to the bulkhead, if you are talking about the internal threads, see above, but if you are talking about the nut that holds it on, the external thread, no need for sealant. That is what the gasket is for. I have some that are over 5 years old, never seen a drop from bulkhead. Just be sure all surfaces are CLEAN! Then clean them again!
Here is a great write up that Russ did on the Neptune forum.

Gonna need a reason not to use teflon on pvc joints other than don't use it.
