Only that the EPA requires each different refrigerant to have it's own
incompatible type of fitting. (at least in automotive applications...)
The hose is likely universal, but the fittings are not...
It's likely to be for the prevention of cross contamination and of
venting refrigerant to the atmosphere during "flushing" (that would
prevent the contamination...)

This thing I bought http://www.harborfreight.com/a-c-manifold-gauge-set-92649.html
says it is only good for R134 though the hoses say R12/22/134. The
fittings are probably for 134, I have some adapters somewhere I
think. is there some reason the gauges would not work with R12 (or
Freeze 12 or a "test refrigerant"?)? To me a gauge just measures
pressure, should not really care what kind of fluid it is, within
reason. I seem to recall the former versions they sold said they
worked on all. HMMMM....
