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

Oooh, not seen them before!

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

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
