2572 (b) Exits. The home is required to have two exterior exit doors, located remotely from
2573 each other, as required in MHCSS 3280.105. This standard requires that a single-section home
2574 have the doors no less than 12 feet, center-to-center, from each other, and a multisection home
2575 have the doors no less than 20 feet, center-to-center, from each other, when measured in a
2576 straight line, regardless of the length of the path of travel between the doors. One of the
2577 required exit doors must be accessible from the doorway of each bedroom and no more than 35
2578 feet away from any bedroom doorway. An exterior swing door shall have a 28-inch-wide by
2579 74-inch-high clear opening and sliding glass doors shall have a 28-inch-wide by 72-inch-high
2580 clear opening. Each exterior door other than screen/storm doors shall have a key-operated lock

2585 water heater shall have an interior finish with a flame-spread rating not exceeding 25. Sealants
2586 and other trim materials two inches or less in width used to finish adjacent surfaces within
2587 these spaces are exempt from this provision, provided all joints are supported by framing
2588 members or materials with a flame spread rating of 25 or less. Combustible doors providing
2589 interior or exterior access to furnace and water heater spaces shall be covered with materials of
2590 limited combustibility (i.e., 5/16-inch gypsum board, etc.), with the surface allowed to be
2591 interrupted for louvers ventilating the space. However, the louvers shall not be of materials of
2592 greater combustibility than the door itself (i.e., plastic louvers on a wooden door). Reference
2593 MHCSS 3280.203.
2594 (b) Exposed interior finishes. Exposed interior finishes adjacent to the cooking range
2595 (surfaces include vertical surfaces between the range top and overhead cabinets, the ceiling, or
2596 both) shall have a flame-spread rating not exceeding 50, as required by MHCSS 3280.203.
2597 Backsplashes not exceeding six inches in height are exempted. Ranges shall have a vertical
2598 clearance above the cooking top of not less than 24 inches to the bottom of combustible
2599 cabinets, as required by MHCSS 3280.204(e).
2600 (3) Related to smoke detectors:
2601 (a) Location. A smoke detector shall be installed on any ceiling or wall in the hallway
2602 or space communicating with each bedroom area between the living area and the first bedroom
2603 door, unless a door separates the living area from that bedroom area, in which case the detector
2604 shall be installed on the living-area side, as close to the door as practicable, as required by
2605 MHCSS 3280.208. Homes with bedroom areas separated by any one or combination of
2606 common-use areas such as a kitchen, dining room, living room, or family room (but not a
2607 bathroom or utility room) shall be required to have one detector for each bedroom area. When
2608 located in the hallways, the detector shall be between the return air intake and the living areas.
2609 (b) Switches and electrical connections. Smoke detectors shall have no switches in the
2610 circuit to the detector between the over-current protection device protecting the branch circuit
2611 and the detector. The detector shall be attached to an electrical outlet box and connected by a
2612 permanent wiring method to a general electrical circuit. The detector shall not be placed on the
2613 same branch circuit or any circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.
2614 (4) Related to solid-fuel-burning stoves/fireplaces:
2615 (a) Solid-fuel-burning fireplaces and fireplace stoves. Solid-fuel-burning, factory-built
2616 fireplaces and fireplace stoves may be used in manufactured homes, provided that they are
2617 listed for use in manufactured homes and installed according to their listing/manufacturer's
2618 instructions and the minimum requirements of MHCSS 3280.709(g).
2619 (b) Equipment. A solid-fuel-burning fireplace or fireplace stove shall be equipped with
2620 an integral door or shutters designed to close the fire chamber opening and shall include
2621 complete means for venting through the roof, a combustion air inlet, a hearth extension, and
2622 means to securely attach the unit to the manufactured home structure.
2623 (i) Chimney. A listed, factory-built chimney designed to be attached directly to the
2624 fireplace/fireplace stove and equipped with, in accordance with the listing, a termination device
2625 and spark arrester shall be required. The chimney shall extend at least three feet above the part
2626 of the roof through which it passes and at least two feet above the highest elevation of any part
2627 of the manufactured home that is within 10 feet of the chimney.
2628 (ii) Air-intake assembly and combustion-air inlet. An air-intake assembly shall be
2629 installed in accordance with the terms of listings and the manufacturer's instruction. A
2630 combustion-air inlet shall conduct the air directly into the fire chamber and shall be designed to
2631 prevent material from the hearth from dropping on the area beneath the manufactured home.
2632 (iii) Hearth. The hearth extension shall be of noncombustible material that is a
2633 minimum of 3/8-inch thick and shall extend a minimum of 16 inches in front and eight inches
2634 beyond each side of the fireplace/fireplace stove opening. The hearth shall also extend over the
2635 entire surface beneath a fireplace stove and beneath an elevated and overhanging fireplace.
2636 (5) Related to electrical wiring systems:
2637 (a) Testing. All electrical systems shall be tested for continuity, in accordance with
2638 MHCSS 3280.810, to ensure that metallic parts are properly bonded; tested for operation, to
2639 demonstrate that all equipment is connected and in working order; and given a polarity check,
2640 to determine that connections are proper.
2641 (b) 5.2 Protection. The electrical system shall be properly protected for the required
2642 amperage load. If the unit wiring employs aluminum conductors, all receptacles and switches
2643 rated at 20 amperes or less that are directly connected to the aluminum conductors shall be
2644 marked CO/ALA. Exterior receptacles, other than heat tape receptacles, shall be of the
2645 ground-fault circuit interrupter (GCI) type. Conductors of dissimilar metals (copper/aluminum
2646 or copper-clad aluminum) must be connected in accordance with NEC, Section 110-14.
2647 (6) Related to replacement furnaces and water heaters:
2648 (a) Listing. Replacement furnaces or water heaters shall be listed for use in a
2649 manufactured home. Vents, roof jacks, and chimneys necessary for the installation shall be
2650 listed for use with the furnace or water heater.
2651 (b) Securement and accessibility. The furnace and water heater shall be secured in
2652 place to avoid displacement. Every furnace and water heater shall be accessible for servicing,
2653 for replacement, or both as required by MHCSS 3280.709(a).
2654 (c) Installation. Furnaces and water heaters shall be installed to provide complete
2655 separation of the combustion system from the interior atmosphere of the manufactured home,
2656 as required by MHCSS.
2657 (i) Separation. The required separation may be achieved by the installation of a
2658 direct-vent system (sealed combustion system) furnace or water heater or the installation of
2659 furnace and water heater venting and combustion systems from the interior atmosphere of the
2660 home. There shall be no doors, grills, removable access panels, or other openings into the
2661 enclosure from the inside of the manufactured home. All openings for ducts, piping, wiring,
2662 etc., shall be sealed.
2663 (ii) Water heater. The floor area in the area of the water heater shall be free from
2664 damage from moisture to ensure that the floor will support the weight of the water heater.
