2626 each other, as required in MHCSS 3280.105. This standard requires that a single-section home
2627 have the doors no less than 12 feet, center-to-center, from each other, and a multisection home
2628 have the doors no less than 20 feet, center-to-center, from each other, when measured in a
2629 straight line, regardless of the length of the path of travel between the doors. One of the
2630 required exit doors must be accessible from the doorway of each bedroom and no more than 35
2631 feet away from any bedroom doorway. An exterior swing door shall have a 28-inch-wide by

2644 interrupted for louvers ventilating the space. However, the louvers shall not be of materials of
2645 greater combustibility than the door itself (i.e., plastic louvers on a wooden door). Reference
2646 MHCSS 3280.203.
2647 (b) Exposed interior finishes. Exposed interior finishes adjacent to the cooking range
2648 (surfaces include vertical surfaces between the range top and overhead cabinets, the ceiling, or
2649 both) shall have a flame-spread rating not exceeding 50, as required by MHCSS 3280.203.

2654 (a) Location. A smoke detector shall be installed on any ceiling or wall in the hallway
2655 or space communicating with each bedroom area between the living area and the first bedroom
2656 door, unless a door separates the living area from that bedroom area, in which case the detector
2657 shall be installed on the living-area side, as close to the door as practicable, as required by
2658 MHCSS 3280.208. Homes with bedroom areas separated by any one or combination of
2659 common-use areas such as a kitchen, dining room, living room, or family room (but not a
2660 bathroom or utility room) shall be required to have one detector for each bedroom area. When
2661 located in the hallways, the detector shall be between the return air intake and the living areas.
2662 (b) Switches and electrical connections. Smoke detectors shall have no switches in the
2663 circuit to the detector between the overcurrent protection device protecting the branch circuit
2664 and the detector. The detector shall be attached to an electrical outlet box and connected by a
2665 permanent wiring method to a general electrical circuit. The detector shall not be placed on the
2666 same branch circuit or any circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.

2673 an integral door or shutters designed to close the fire chamber opening and shall include
2674 complete means for venting through the roof, a combustion air inlet, a hearth extension, and
2675 means to securely attach the unit to the manufactured home structure.
2676 (i) Chimney. A listed, factory-built chimney designed to be attached directly to the
2677 fireplace/fireplace stove and equipped with, in accordance with the listing, a termination device
2678 and spark arrester shall be required. The chimney shall extend at least three feet above the part
2679 of the roof through which it passes and at least two feet above the highest elevation of any part
2680 of the manufactured home that is within 10 feet of the chimney.
2681 (ii) Air-intake assembly and combustion-air inlet. An air-intake assembly shall be
2682 installed in accordance with the terms of listings and the manufacturer's instruction. A
2683 combustion-air inlet shall conduct the air directly into the fire chamber and shall be designed to
2684 prevent material from the hearth from dropping on the area beneath the manufactured home.
2685 (iii) Hearth. The hearth extension shall be of noncombustible material that is a
2686 minimum of 3/8-inch thick and shall extend a minimum of 16 inches in front and eight inches
2687 beyond each side of the fireplace/fireplace stove opening. The hearth shall also extend over the
2688 entire surface beneath a fireplace stove and beneath an elevated and overhanging fireplace.
2689 (5) Related to electrical wiring systems:
2690 (a) Testing. All electrical systems shall be tested for continuity, in accordance with
2691 MHCSS 3280.810, to ensure that metallic parts are properly bonded; tested for operation, to
2692 demonstrate that all equipment is connected and in working order; and given a polarity check,
2693 to determine that connections are proper.
2694 (b) 5.2 Protection. The electrical system shall be properly protected for the required
2695 amperage load. If the unit wiring employs aluminum conductors, all receptacles and switches
2696 rated at 20 amperes or less that are directly connected to the aluminum conductors shall be
2697 marked CO/ALA. Exterior receptacles, other than heat tape receptacles, shall be of the
2698 ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) type. Conductors of dissimilar metals
2699 (copper/aluminum or copper-clad aluminum) must be connected in accordance with NEC,
2700 Section 110-14.
2701 (6) Related to replacement furnaces and water heaters:
2702 (a) Listing. Replacement furnaces or water heaters shall be listed for use in a
2703 manufactured home. Vents, roof jacks, and chimneys necessary for the installation shall be
2704 listed for use with the furnace or water heater.
2705 (b) Securement and accessibility. The furnace and water heater shall be secured in
2706 place to avoid displacement. Every furnace and water heater shall be accessible for servicing,
2707 for replacement, or both as required by MHCSS 3280.709(a).
2708 (c) Installation. Furnaces and water heaters shall be installed to provide complete
2709 separation of the combustion system from the interior atmosphere of the manufactured home,
2710 as required by MHCSS.
2711 (i) Separation. The required separation may be achieved by the installation of a
2712 direct-vent system (sealed combustion system) furnace or water heater or the installation of
2713 furnace and water heater venting and combustion systems from the interior atmosphere of the
2714 home. There shall be no doors, grills, removable access panels, or other openings into the
2715 enclosure from the inside of the manufactured home. All openings for ducts, piping, wiring,
2716 etc., shall be sealed.
2717 (ii) Water heater. The floor area in the area of the water heater shall be free from
2718 damage from moisture to ensure that the floor will support the weight of the water heater.
