3. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the cooktop burner base and in a

Making the connections too tight may crack the regulator
and cause a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on
the pipe when tightening fittings.

You will need to determine the fittings required depending
on your installation.
