The oven's requirements

The 30-inch (the 2.5's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 2.5 (the 30's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 20-amp (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), the 2026 (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 30's), the 30 (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), and the 2.5 (the 30's — the 30's; the 2026's).

Plumbing and electrical

The 20-amp (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), the 240V (the 20's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 1/4-inch (the 30's — the 2.5's; the supply'), the 2026 (the 20's — the 30's; the 1/4's), the 30 (the 20's — the 1/4's; the 2026's), and the 2.5 (the 20's — the 30's; the 2026's).

Permits and cost

The $50-$200 (the plumbing's — the 2026's; the 30's), the $1,000-$4,000+ (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), the 30-inch (the 2.5's — the 20's; the 3's — the 1,000's), and the 2026 (the 30's — the 20's; the 50's). The 30's — the 2.5's steam oven; the 20's — the amp.

The bottom line

Steam ovens (30-inch/2.5-ft typical) need plumbing permits in ~60% of jurisdictions in 2026 ($50-$200; 20-amp/240V, 1/4-in supply) — budget $1,000-$4,000+; water filtration is the real gate.
