If the gas group (G number) is different, the jets will give unreliable combustion, especially on low flame.

Jubilee clips work fine on the orange gas hoses. I know, I used to service 3000 mobile gas heaters every year for 6 years. One year we scrapped 3000 and bought another new 3000. So that was 6K that year
Every one of then was secured with jubilee clips each end of the hose.
The correct gas hose should be bright orange, with lots of writing down it, including a "use by" date of a month and a year.
It is actually illegal in the UK to use a hose once it has passed its date.
If you have the blue / grey mud hut shaped regulator with a plastic flip lever on top, they should have a year code stamped into them, usually up inside the connector (2 digits). Again, that is a dispose by date.

patio gas is propane Bob, it just comes in a different cylinder with a stupid fitting, so that people don't leave the tap open and blow themselves up.
I thought it was propane/butane mix (we used to call it winter gas), but a quick check suggests not.
