A manifold assembly is provided which includes a manifold block having a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The block also includes a regulator inlet in a planar surface of the manifold block which is connected to the gas inlet. The regulator outlet is also provided in the planar surface spaced from the regulator inlet and connected to the gas outlet. A regulator is mounted to the manifold block at the planar surface and includes an inlet and outlet on a common wall of the regulator. The inlet and outlet of the regulator have the same spacing as and communicates with the regulator inlet and outlet of the manifold block. In the preferred embodiment, one of the inlet and outlet of the regulator is annular and encompasses the other.
