Regulator, O' Regulator, where art thou ?

On my Conqueror Trailer I have a 5kg gas bottle.
This is plumbed, through the wall, to my cheap Cadac 2 plate stove.
There is no regulator in the system.
The Cadac works well.
When I bought it, it was branded LP.
Everyone told me it stood for LP Gas.
I'm 99% sure it was for Low Pressure.
I decided to upgrade & bought a new Cadac deluxe 2 plate stove.
The new one can run on SA LPG, Butane etc. etc.
The new one comes with a regulator.
I'm a bit confiussed as to why the old one needed no regulator & the new one does.
I assumed that the 3 & 5 kg bottles are too low pressure to need regulators while the 9kg up, which have bigger outlets do.
I called Andre Strauss as he is an overlander, 4x4'er, Plumber & Gas installer & asked him.
Trust me - he has no idea why the old one was happy with no regulator.
Anyone have an idea?.
