I figured you didnt mean the rubber part of the hose. However I did think you may have meant they were in a hose end fitting.
I have no idea which "check valve" they are referencing in your link. Sounds like they have a second regulator with a third cylinder. It may have to do with that set up.
IIRC the restrictor in the acme nuts are in case the hose is cut, bursts or is severed and the cylinder valve is open. The cylinder will not be able to blow a large amount of propane all over before the valve can be shut off.
