Exterior gas regulator/no interior

Exterior gas regulator / no interior

 

[Fitter30]

The regulator before the meter probably dropping pressure to 7" . Then each appliance has a regulator " to " 7" to 3 .5"
like a water heater has a combined reg and gas valve, stove has one where the gas line attaches. Homes just have the one regulator at the meter.
Need to check gas pressure entering another appliance with water manometer or inches gauge. You can built a manometer with a piece of clear tubing and a few fittings just google it.

Fitter30 is correct.

Suggest hiring an experienced and qualified gas fitter to correctly install your gas stove.

FYI,
7" gas pressure = ~0.25 psi
3.5" gas pressure = ~0.125 psi

I had not heard that before.

I have properties where each appliance is required to have its own regulator. In some communities the local utility provides the gas at a higher pressure than the appliances can safely run. Its a PITA, but it is better than blowing things up.

Gas supplied to the premises at higher pressure, such as 2 psi, has some advantages. If you wanted to put in a gas powered whole house generator, it is a lot easier to run the pipe to the generator.
