Default Question about 4-400 tube socket/mounting

I have seen 3-500Z tubes mounted in the johnson ceramic sockets. The Heath
SB-220 uses them.
Will the 4-400 tube handle the airflow the same way? Usually you see the air
system sockets used so that the air will flow up through the bottom. Will
the filament connections remain solid in a 275 ceramic socket with a muffin
fan blowing across the tube?
? I have seen the sockets raised a bit so that the filaments get cooling.
Just wondering if the 4-400 would work that way as well? Any experience
with this?
