Leaking Propane Regulator

when you change out the propane regulator with one from the same manufacture and same model number do you have to get the pressure check out are does it come preset?
The old one was leaking at the round head not the fittings.
Thanks for all comments

  • Install new regulator.
    Valve in propane and check for leaks at fittings
    Turn on Stove top burners High one at a time
    Observe each flame as you light off another one
    DO they remain/recover quickly to same height/intensity?
    With all of them burning on High are they a good strong/steady blue flame?
    Now fire off the water heater on propane......

    If water heater fires off and stove top burners are all good. Regulator OK
  • Theoretically, they come preset.

    You are well advised to check it or get it checked with some appliance load on it.
