Install a ballcock on the new Griffin Rad???
My new 31"x19" Griffin didn't have a ballcock installed....so is everyone just removing the lower radiator hose to drain and flush the coolant when it's needed??? Is it worth it to take the time and install a ballcock???

IMO...no.
Most rad drains I've had end up spraying on top of a sway bar, or trickling down to the lower part of the fan shroud -but that depends on what position/angle the drain is installed I'd think..
Just use a clean big pan, and carefully inch the hose off the water pump end -and control the flow yourself - faster that way too.

...or buy a radiator hose drain that splices into the lower hose.
I'm using the straight Moroso unit with my Griffin 31x19".
Here are a few that Summit stocks.
