Yes, you need a regulator. A propane in a bottle has a pressure of up to 210 psi. Your applicances need only ounces and are not designed for the full pressure of the propane bottle.
We have a propane range in our home. It is connected to a pair of 20 pound propane tanks with a switching valve and a regulator. We purchased the complete rig at the local propane dealership.
Some RV centers will also have the necessary items you need.

As said above, a regulator is a must. Also buy a propane detector/alarm. A buld up of propane could be deadly. RV or camp equipment outlets should have them. Ventilation is also a must when using propane indoors.

Yes you will need a pressure regulator on your bottle. propane creates about 60lbs of pressure and a stove needs about 7 to 10 ounces.

Yes you definatley need a regulator at your tank. pressure coming out of a 20lb cylender is aroud 200 to 210 psi. requirements for a propane appliance is about 11 inches of water column (less than 1/2 psi.) most hardware stores carry regulators.

hi,
you don't have to reduce the pressure,but you should have a safety valve bee tween the Bottle and the hose,and don't have the bottle inside,always outside.Ks
