Well, Heatercores are made for use in motorized vehicles. The ones we as Water Coolers tend to use are mainly Car-heatercores. If you buy your Core at say, autozone or Pitstop or any car parts dealer, it will be made for use with automobile cooling. In such a case you would have to attach barbs to the tanks of the core yourself.
You do not have to do this however if you buy pre-modded cores from DangerDen or Dtek. These core cost maybe 10 dollars more but are fitted with barbs for watercooling. (Dtek are modded with threaded NPT while DD are just soldered on barbs)
