Question EGR question

I'm reinstalling everything after putting in headgaskets, studs, STC fitting, new dummy plugs/stand pipes, oil cooler, egr delete cooler, etc. I'm now installing the EGR cooler and was wondering about the blue hose. I know its suppose to lock into place by rotating it 90 degrees, but the end that is on the EGR cooler seems loose fitting. Not sure if it would hold back much in coolant pressure. Is this normal? Just want to clarify before going any further.

And did the upgraded turbo drain tube come on any models from the factory? I have an 2006 F250 and not sure if I have an upgraded drain tube or not.

Thanks again for everyone's previous post in doing HGs. Its helped me a ton taking on this task. Should have her running this weekend, hopefully. :-)
Cheers,
Mike
