Can you use propane without a regulator?
Nothing can be operated without a regulator except a weed burner in which the needle valve serves as a regulator. If and only IF you connect to the house propane system you will have to remove the regulator from the grill. That is designed to lower tank pressure to 11″ water column or about 6–8 ounces per square inch.
What does a regulator do for propane?
The purpose of the regulator is to control the flow of gas vapor from the container to the burner tip. The regulator ensures safety by providing over-pressure protection, usually by means of a pressure relief device. This is why we often refer to the regulator as the heart of the propane system.
Do I need a regulator for a gas torch?

Are all propane gas regulators the same?
Are All Gas Grill Regulators the Same? Every propane gas grill uses an LP regulator, but not all regulators are created equal. Though the purpose is the same, different types of setups require different types of regulators. The type of regulator a grill needs is based on the specific propane application requirements.
What type of burner is used on a propane torch?

Is there a difference between propane and natural gas regulator?
Propane regulators and natural gas regulators are not interchangeable, though they both operate in the same fashion. A natural gas regulator is comprised of five components: set screw, spring, rod, diaphragm and valve.
