Oh really? The main outside my house is at 11bar pressure (static, due
to hill) and immediately downstream of my stopcock, and in the same
access space, is an adjustable regulator set to 4bar, although the
technicians who changed it recently set it to 3bar.

So you agree, the stop tap is not regulating pressure, it is done
(surprise) by the regulator?

Indeed; which is why I said it was regulated "at" the stopcock, and
didn't say it was regulated "by" the stopcock.
