These BH connectors are actually supposed to go in this way. I watched several instructonal videos from the aquarium folks who use these regularly. I tried it the other way and it was a total fail and they only come with one gasket. The gasket has concentric ring raised areas on one side and smooth on the other. the smooth side is supposed to go against the inside of the container with the flange on the concentric bumps and no gasket on the outside. Anyway thats the way it looks like they are typically used. they leak if I put them with the flange out and threads and nut inside. Also, it is about impossible to tighten the nut when its on the inside since there isn't enough clearance for a very large wrench (if one even has one that big in the toolbox). I made a wrench that would fit and no matter how tight they leaked.
Actually I wish there were two gaskets and I may add one on the outside as well just to be sure. I hate leaks in the grow room!

I got you, I see it now.
I’m used to working with swimming pool equipment , they have double gaskets. And I see it’s female threadeds on the inside and not slip on the smooth face side.
My bad for trying to correct you, your on it.
