Radiator replacement

Replacing my leaking rad, and bought one on eBay.

The new rad has two nipples in the area of the filler neck and both nipples have holes through to the rad. One is below the rad cap the other is the overflow just above the sealing portion of the cap. What is bottom nipple for????

My existing rad has that bottom nipple, but there is nothing hooked on to it, and it must not have a hole in it, cuz it doesn't leak.

Anyone know what this is for????
