Regulator for what??? Never seen no regs on any heaters/furnaces. Only thing that would even come close to being a regulator is the thermostat.

Yup just plug into your 110 outlet.

My inspector "preferred" to see a dedicated gas line regulator just upline of my new garage furnace. Code did not require it.....I could have cut into the gas line feeding my house furnace AFTER that regulator (essentially there would be a tee after that regulator with the separate gas line running directly out to the garage). Instead, I cut into the gas line coming directly from the meter--prior to where it fed the regulator for the house furnace--and ran a separate gas line to the garage. There I installed the shut off valve, dedicated regulator, and line into the furnace.

(Sorry for long explanation)

Our local code only requires "appropriate disconnect" at the furnace location. That could be either be (1) a metal switch box mounted on the back of the furnace (with a switch), and hardwired via flexible conduit to the dedicated 15A line coming out of the wall, or, (2) a simple 15A appliance cord coming out the back of the furnace which plugs/unplugs from a regular wall recepticle (dedicated 15A). I chose the later for my install.

Every gas apliance I ever came across that required its own regulator came with the regulator built into it. There is a regulator built into both my stove and laundry drier.

Most inspectors aren't smart enough to read the code, let alone interpit it from my experience. The fool who "preferrs" to see a regulator in a gas apliance line sure doesn't know how a regulator functions, and he's creating a lot of future problems. He should come to work here with the Dog Catcher who became Mr Code Compliance because Civil Service Law allowed him to.
