Do all LPG gas appliances need a regulator?

Yes a regulator needs to be installed at the source of gas supply.
Example: Gas Grill, the gas supply must be regulated to keep pressure at a prescribed pressure for safety and also for grill, or appliance to work as designed. Outside tanks (gas supply) have a regulator at tank to again allow gas to flow to appliance at a set pressure. Because tank pressure will vary dependant on temperature.

Yes, all LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) gas appliances need a regulator. The regulator is an essential component of any LPG gas system as it helps to regulate the pressure of the gas being supplied to the appliance. LPG is typically supplied in high-pressure cylinders or tanks, and the regulator reduces the pressure of the gas to a safe and usable level for the appliance.
Without a regulator, the gas pressure could be too high and cause damage to the appliance or create a safety hazard. Additionally, different appliances require different pressure levels, so it's important to ensure that the regulator is properly adjusted for the specific appliance it's connected to.
It's also important to note that regulators have a limited lifespan and should be replaced periodically to ensure safe and efficient operation of the LPG gas system.

Gas regulators for LPG bottles are an essential part of an LPG system. Without LPG gas regulators reducing the gas regulator gas pressure, the LPG would be unsafe to use. LPG gas regulators must reduce the high pressures as shown in the LPG Pressure chart above to the required 2.75kPa gas regulator gas pressure
Not all LPG gas appliances require a separate regulator. Some appliances, especially smaller ones such as portable camping stoves or small grills, may have an integrated regulator or use disposable gas canisters that include a built-in regulator. However, larger appliances such as residential cooktops, ovens, water heaters, or gas furnaces typically require an external regulator to control and regulate the gas pressure.
