What to do with heater outlets?

Am i right in thinking the general doing is to block these? If so how?

I connected a heater to mine
Alternatively you could just put a loop of hose in and connect them to each other ?

I'm in the process of blocking mine off. I THINK i just decided its not a good idea though. Some say its fine. Some say no. I guess it depends on the water flow

Whats wrong with a "Y" piece so that all the outlets/inlets are connected?. You may in fact cause problems with localised hot spots due to blocking them off if it affects the coolant circulation?

Okay to block on a JAG engine as the heater control is a vacumn operated valve that starves the heater matrix of hot water when set to cold.

On other cars where the matrix is always hot maybe not such a good idea.
