I'm in the process of designing my Brutus-esque brew stand and I'm looking to order a regulator and hose to supply the burners. I'd prefer to mount the regulator onboard the stand so it's not flopping around with the loose end that connects to the tank - seems less likely to get damaged from getting dropped.
I'm building a low pressure propane (11" WC) system so the output of the onboard regulator would be 11" WC. I'm looking to order a hose with the acme nut on one end and a 1/4" MNPT fitting on the other to connect to the regulator.
From what I've read, you want to go with the green or red acme nut to be able to supply enough BTU to feed multiple burners. However, looking at a few sites like this one:
http://gashosesandregulators.com/gasregulators.html
Or
http://www.alliedkenco.com/fitting-inlet-acme-green-1.aspx
they mention that the red and green are for high pressure only and not for equipment requiring low pressure. Does anyone know why one of these wouldn't work?
