Not sure how common it is to find a regulator on NG appliances. Around here (Mass) the regulator is at the meter so the gas going through the pipes is all low pressure. I think it's .5 PSI.

When I got my gas cook top I had to change out the orifices and the regulator that came with it I had to flip something on the inside from natural gas to propane.
I have had it for sometime now and haven't set it up yet.
Hopefully this year.
Its a nice cook top.

You can't argue with a closed mind.
You might as well be arguing with a cat.

That does look like a nice cooktop! I have a crappy electric smooth top stove. One of these days, we'll remodel the kitchen. I do like that your cooktop makes it easy to switch from one fuel to the other. Don't wait too long to install it in case there's a problem with the unit.

Probably already too late but the only problem would be the electric starter.
But I got one that didn't require it to have electricity to lite.
Made sure of that.
My problem is about the time I was ready to tear out my kitchen and remodel things hit like, cataracts and I ended up with a whole pile of exotic lumber in my garage for free.
The middle burner puts out 18,200 BTU's.

My stove is a glass top also and the overhead microwave is toast and dont want to fix it.
I just want it to go away and I really haven't missed it at all.
I find an overhead microwave to be stupid anyway because as was said it collects steam from cooking in kettles and canning.
Probably build a frame out of angle iron and wood and make the cook top portable with the tanks under it.
