Did I get the right hose?

Before I go and start a fireworks show, I wanted to make sure I got the right hose to connect my HH to a bbq tank. Its rated for 350psi and its 12'. I'm just a little concerned about the connector that goes to the bottle. It screws in on the inside, instead of the outside.

Is this correct?

I'm thinking that this post from a year ago may answer my question...

Well it works. I just got up enough nerve to hook it up and try it out. Works great.

A little late, but yes its the correct hose..... Your particular version is called a POL (for Prest-O-Lite or some people call it "Put On Left" (because of left-hand thread)) and is known as a CGA 510 by industry standards...

External threaded one is called ACME connection....

For any body going this route, either tank connection type will work, as long as torch end is "male disposable canister" connection...
