    I think I've seen those called "hose barbs".  Hose ends nor hose clamps slip off of those.  

depends who you ask... :)

Those valves are soldered onto the pipe. You can unsolder them with a mapp gas torch. Soldering on a new valve is more difficult, but I would recommend that over just
putting on barbs. If you suffer a failure of your heater core or one of the lines up front, you'll have no way to isolate it from the engine.

Find a plumber who does a lot of sweat soldering and ask them to come out and help you.

     Oh, yeah, nothing's perfect.  They can be pretty hard on hoses and, of course, if the clamp breaks or loosens, all bets are off, but they're usually a pretty good solution.

      Thanks for that. I'm bookmarking that.  Some of Grainger's stuff is expensive but they sure have a lot of good components.
