I can see they have a place but TBH I'd much prefer to use weld on fittings, obviously this can bring about another set of problems if you can't TIG weld.

I don't see the point. The weak point is still the cheap hose clamp connection. I welded -20 AN bungs on my radiator, lower water pump housing and t stat housings.

Agreed. That is why I ran -20 on my hose. Still a large enough I.D. Some get away with -16 hoses.

I have 2 -12's on each side of mine, and have the last three and had ZERO issues with water temp.
