Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had an antifreeze leak that was coming from
where quick connect pushes into the bottom
heater hose! After I got the quick connect off and
hose cleaned out ,I just pushed the hose all the
over the nipple on the pipe and used regular clamp
to tighten! It runs fine with no leaks ,my question to

is that just to help in repairs quicker .

It is OK to run it with just a hose clamp, I have done it with never an issue. The quick fitting is there just as you said to help make the repair go quicker...
