Expert Reply:
There are differences that the colors reference for the Type 1 Propane connectors based on the spring tension and flow rate. The light green connectors are rated for Rated for 200,000 Btu per hour. The black are rated for 70,000-100,000 Btu per hour. The dark green are rated for 450,000-500,000 Btu per hour. The Red connector is the strongest spring and is often used for high pressure adapters and T-fittings.
Here are some options of each:
Dark Green # 204052-MBS
Black # 204024-MBS
Light Green # CAM59923
Red # 103613-MBS
