As per the title, are they reliable and leak free in the cooling system?

they've been around a while, I need to take a feed from the return hose to my oil cooler but as its really close to the water pump join in the pipe isn't ideal, if these work well then it solves a problem, i was also thinking of a take off from my boost pipe for the n75 valve

I use these type of fittings for work, have done so for over 20 years, they do the job for us with water at around 6 to 7 bar.

thats great, any make i should be looking at?

[Paulprior]

Not sure of the make we use, I can try and find out when I'm in the factory, but I won't be there until midweek

I got mine from Demon Tweeks, not the cheapest, but they where well machined and worked fine.

I would probably steer clear of ebay items though

Check who the actual seller is, many big names/reputable suppliers now have "Ebay shops"

They look like Revotec items (no idea if they make them but they certainly sell them) - if so, have used and they worked well on induction plumbing; did think about them on the wet side but didn't in the end... can't see why they would not be fine 'though

I checked the ones we use in our factory in the Czech Republic but 50% of them had hose clips on as well, so I couldn't really recommend these ones to you, I will try again in another factory but that might not be for a week or 2
