They are copper compression fittings.  You can get them at HOME Hardware,
NAPA, Canadian Tire, propane dealer, etc.  To install new lines you will  need a
flare tool to make the flare at the end of the new line.  Flare tool  should
be available at NAPA or other fine auto parts stores or maybe Princess  Auto.
