If it's an Atwood three-burner, I presume it's meant to be installed in an RV. Rubber hoses aren't approved for permanent installation- usual material is copper or black iron.
But if you're trying to use it as a portable, be aware that you'll also need a regulator, and one with the proper "water column" pressure at that. Appliances intended for RV use run off the rig's regulated supply, which WC is usually different from that ordinarily used by portable freestanding units, so an ordinary outdoor appliance regulator like those on Coleman stoves etc probably won't work. Nor will the connections fit since those are also different for these two applications.
