Stop in for a cup of coffee

Ok I posted this in another thread and no reply, probably should have started here,

I’m not going to be using my heater in/outlets on the water pump housing, at least for now. Can either or both be used as places to put fan switch or temp sensors?
As long as it goes all the way in not in a fitting that will keep it out of the wp housing tried that with a t it gets cooler.
