I did a quick search, since my check valves are also on the torch....

looks like there are 2 different animals, one at each end of the hose.  Time
to look for the regulator-end jobs before my next project.  I'll look online
later...

see the blurb in the safety.pdf file

  I went to the link and got a little scared. I have
flash arrestors but they are installed at the torch
not at the tank.

  So I took my rig apart to install it so they are at
the tank, but it appears the genders are all wrong
that way. Perhaps it's not the safest, but the flash
arrestors have the ends such that they really can
only go at the torch, otherwise you need four gender
benders.

  Hmmm.
