Hey Michael,
The Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 inlets are 1/4" NPT thread and the brass fittings are just an adapter to switch from NPT to 1/4" female flare since 1/4" male flare fittings are a popular connection type for pigtail hoses. You can remove the brass fittings but they are held in place with Loctite so it might be challenging to get them out. After getting them out I would use a wire brush to clean any remaining Loctite from the threads that could prevent a good seal between the fitting and inlet.
If you couldn't or didn't want to remove the brass fittings you could switch to a pigtail hose like the MB Sturgis # 100575-24-MBS.
