Dear Swarnali, thanks for your opinion. We can say that, the \"flex\" is the connector (shongjogkari) of the gas stove and the cylinder through the regulator. But, if someone does not use a cylinder and directly connected to the gas supply (in most of the parts of Bangladesh gas is supplied by pipeline) then there is no need to mention the regulator, as no regulator is used between the flex and the main gas supply pipe.
