They can go wherever you'd like, like any clamp setup it is made to replace couplers/clamps to make things easier.

I bought a turbo kit that was already fabbed with the wiggins clamps and dont get me wrong. They are nice and neat but are a major pain in the *** to line up and get the sleeve centered and clamped down. Looks cool, but functions horribly

They are meant for high pressure rugged appplications, and is a sturdy connection that offers movement and flex as well. They are not really meant to be "user friendly", but rather reliable and bullet proof.

I can't put my finger on it, but when I worked in the airline business these things were awesome and worked all the time on all my test rigs and setups. I worked with 1" up to some massive ones by both Wiggins and Hydraflow and they were always a joy to have in front of me over a v-band with O-rings or crush seals.
I prefer the QD's I work with on the space suit now lol But I could never afford that
However, my hargetts seem to be great and I can't wait until I get to use them on the car!

i never figured out how they tighten on the o rings. i mean there has to be some kind of force or pressure holding the 2 pieces together. looks like these are like quick release of some kind

These local guys came out with these not too long ago. I've seen them used a couple times with great results. Allow for quite a bit of flexibility.

Price seems to be alright for what they are compared to wiggins stuff I guess.
