1021 load, Pg, may be adjusted by the building official when a licensed engineer or architect submits
1022 data substantiating the adjustments.

1024 roof snow load, such roof live load shall be used for design, however, it shall not be reduced to

2265 each other, as required in MHCSS 3280.105. This standard requires that a single-section home
2266 have the doors no less than 12 feet, center-to-center, from each other, and a multisection home
2267 have the doors no less than 20 feet, center-to-center, from each other, when measured in a
2268 straight line, regardless of the length of the path of travel between the doors. One of the
2269 required exit doors must be accessible from the doorway of each bedroom and no more than 35
2270 feet away from any bedroom doorway. An exterior swing door shall have a 28-inch-wide by
2271 74-inch-high clear opening and sliding glass doors shall have a 28-inch-wide by 72-inch-high
2272 clear opening. Each exterior door other than screen/storm doors shall have a key-operated lock

2277 water heater shall have an interior finish with a flame-spread rating not exceeding 25. Sealants
2278 and other trim materials two inches or less in width used to finish adjacent surfaces within
2279 these spaces are exempt from this provision, provided all joints are supported by framing
2280 members or materials with a flame spread rating of 25 or less. Combustible doors providing
2281 interior or exterior access to furnace and water heater spaces shall be covered with materials of
2282 limited combustibility (i.e., 5/16-inch gypsum board, etc.), with the surface allowed to be
2283 interrupted for louvers ventilating the space. However, the louvers shall not be of materials of
2284 greater combustibility than the door itself (i.e., plastic louvers on a wooden door). Reference
2285 MHCSS 3280.203.
2286 (b) Exposed interior finishes. Exposed interior finishes adjacent to the cooking range
2287 (surfaces include vertical surfaces between the range top and overhead cabinets, the ceiling, or
2288 both) shall have a flame-spread rating not exceeding 50, as required by MHCSS 3280.203.
2289 Backsplashes not exceeding six inches in height are exempted. Ranges shall have a vertical
2290 clearance above the cooking top of not less than 24 inches to the bottom of combustible
2291 cabinets, as required by MHCSS 3280.204(e).
2292 (3) Related to smoke detectors:
2293 (a) Location. A smoke detector shall be installed on any ceiling or wall in the hallway
2294 or space communicating with each bedroom area between the living area and the first bedroom
2295 door, unless a door separates the living area from that bedroom area, in which case the detector
2296 shall be installed on the living-area side, as close to the door as practicable, as required by
2297 MHCSS 3280.208. Homes with bedroom areas separated by any one or combination of
2298 common-use areas such as a kitchen, dining room, living room, or family room (but not a
2299 bathroom or utility room) shall be required to have one detector for each bedroom area. When
2300 located in the hallways, the detector shall be between the return air intake and the living areas.
2301 (b) Switches and electrical connections. Smoke detectors shall have no switches in the
2302 circuit to the detector between the over-current protection device protecting the branch circuit
2303 and the detector. The detector shall be attached to an electrical outlet box and connected by a
2304 permanent wiring method to a general electrical circuit. The detector shall not be placed on the
2305 same branch circuit or any circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.
2306 (4) Related to solid-fuel-burning stoves/fireplaces:
2307 (a) Solid-fuel-burning fireplaces and fireplace stoves. Solid-fuel-burning, factory-built
2308 fireplaces, and fireplace stoves may be used in manufactured homes, provided that they are
2309 listed for use in manufactured homes and installed according to their listing/manufacturer's
2310 instructions and the minimum requirements of MHCSS 3280.709(g).
2311 (b) Equipment. A solid-fuel-burning fireplace or fireplace stove shall be equipped with
2312 an integral door or shutters designed to close the fire chamber opening and shall include
2313 complete means for venting through the roof, a combustion air inlet, a hearth extension, and
2314 means to securely attach the unit to the manufactured home structure.
2315 (i) Chimney. A listed, factory-built chimney designed to be attached directly to the
2316 fireplace/fireplace stove and equipped with, in accordance with the listing, a termination device
2317 and spark arrester shall be required. The chimney shall extend at least three feet above the part
2318 of the roof through which it passes and at least two feet above the highest elevation of any part
2319 of the manufactured home that is within 10 feet of the chimney.
2320 (ii) Air-intake assembly and combustion-air inlet. An air-intake assembly shall be
2321 installed in accordance with the terms of listings and the manufacturer's instruction. A
2322 combustion-air inlet shall conduct the air directly into the fire chamber and shall be designed to
2323 prevent material from the hearth from dropping on the area beneath the manufactured home.
2324 (iii) Hearth. The hearth extension shall be of noncombustible material that is a
2325 minimum of 3/8-inch thick and shall extend a minimum of 16 inches in front and eight inches
2326 beyond each side of the fireplace/fireplace stove opening. The hearth shall also extend over the
2327 entire surface beneath a fireplace stove and beneath an elevated and overhanging fireplace.
2328 (5) Related to electrical wiring systems:
2329 (a) Testing. All electrical systems shall be tested for continuity in accordance with
2330 MHCSS 3280.810, to ensure that metallic parts are properly bonded; tested for operation, to
2331 demonstrate that all equipment is connected and in working order; and given a polarity check,
2332 to determine that connections are proper.
2333 (b) 5.2 Protection. The electrical system shall be properly protected for the required
2334 amperage load. If the unit wiring employs aluminum conductors, all receptacles and switches
2335 rated at 20 amperes or less that are directly connected to the aluminum conductors shall be
2336 marked CO/ALA. Exterior receptacles, other than heat tape receptacles, shall be of the
2337 ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) type. Conductors of dissimilar metals
2338 (copper/aluminum or copper-clad aluminum) must be connected in accordance with NEC,
2339 Section 110-14.
2340 (6) Related to replacement furnaces and water heaters:
2341 (a) Listing. Replacement furnaces or water heaters shall be listed for use in a
2342 manufactured home. Vents, roof jacks, and chimneys necessary for the installation shall be
2343 listed for use with the furnace or water heater.
2344 (b) Securement and accessibility. The furnace and water heater shall be secured in
2345 place to avoid displacement. Every furnace and water heater shall be accessible for servicing,
2346 for replacement, or both as required by MHCSS 3280.709(a).
2347 (c) Installation. Furnaces and water heaters shall be installed to provide complete
2348 separation of the combustion system from the interior atmosphere of the manufactured home,
2349 as required by MHCSS.
2350 (i) Separation. The required separation may be achieved by the installation of a
2351 direct-vent system (sealed combustion system) furnace or water heater or the installation of
2352 furnace and water heater venting and combustion systems from the interior atmosphere of the
2353 home. There shall be no doors, grills, removable access panels, or other openings into the
2354 enclosure from the inside of the manufactured home. All openings for ducts, piping, wiring,
2355 etc., shall be sealed.
2356 (ii) Water heater. The floor area in the area of the water heater shall be free from
2357 damage from moisture to ensure that the floor will support the weight of the water heater.
