Thread revival....can you use the factory clamps on these fitting to hold properly into the hoses? Or do you need specific clamps?

I’m sure you could, although I used old school hose clamps.

I have changed the tee out on both of my C6's and used the factory clamps with no issues & no leaks.

Yes you can but my advice is to fit new clamps.. I installed brass T piece the other weekend and was getting leaks until I fitted the new clamps . Same as what came on factory... I get a set of clamps from amazon

Amazon link for T

Update for 2025
Just went through this when I grabbed the coolant hoses to inspect them and the T just essentially disintegrated on my 2008
Ordered from Amazon $9.99 with overnight delivery
