This is an off-topic (off Mozilla anyways) post but I’m stuck and it’s late and I’m not sure who to call to help.
I bought a new cooktop and oven. The gas cooktop has a pressure regulator that sticks out just enough that I can’t slide the oven in under it. I’m not sure if it’s possible/safe to get a 90 degree elbow joint, run that from the cooktop to a 48″ flexible gas pipe and plug the regulator into that followed by another 48″ flexible pipe to the house gas line. Or alternatively, screw the regulator directly onto the gas line.
So,
Stove - 90 degree - 48" - regulator - 48" - gas main
or,
Stove - 90 degree - 48" - regulator - gas main
Not sure about this and since Natural Gas isn’t something I want to just play with I’m hoping to find the right way to do this.
Help.

If you don’t get an answer here, a plumber can tell you a good answer and can do the work for you. I think you can get away with either as long as the pipes are sealed correctly.
Boy yeah, you really want a plumber to answer that question!
I would turn to your gas company for help. At the very least they should be able to put you in touch with a contractor qualified to deal with gas plumbing.
