Question Behr radiator, hose clamp torque?

I have seen many references about breaking behr radiator necks. Anyone know what an appropriate torque to tighten hose clamps would be, I did a google search on the general topic and saw a reference on hose clamps at 22-in-lbs. Does this seem like a bit to much for a plastic neck?
