So the meter outside my house reduces the pressure? I thought the

I had noticed on older houses there's some kind of valve seperate from
the meter (often exposed to the outdoor weather!), presumably nowadays
it's inside the meter.
Your meter has a regulator that drops from an already lowish pressure to
20mbar.

Wow, 20mbar is damn low, I'm surprised that has the desire to move along the pipe.
How do things like camping stoves work? I assume the pressure inside a butane cannister is much higher than that, and I don't think they have pressure reducers.
