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

2635 or space communicating with each bedroom area between the living area and the first bedroom
2636 door, unless a door separates the living area from that bedroom area, in which case the detector
2637 shall be installed on the living-area side, as close to the door as practicable, as required by
2638 MHCSS 3280.208. Homes with bedroom areas separated by any one or combination of
2639 common-use areas such as a kitchen, dining room, living room, or family room (but not a
2640 bathroom or utility room) shall be required to have one detector for each bedroom area. When
2641 located in the hallways, the detector shall be between the return air intake and the living areas.
2642 (b) Switches and electrical connections. Smoke detectors shall have no switches in the
2643 circuit to the detector between the over-current protection device protecting the branch circuit
2644 and the detector. The detector shall be attached to an electrical outlet box and connected by a

2653 an integral door or shutters designed to close the fire chamber opening and shall include
2654 complete means for venting through the roof, a combustion air inlet, a hearth extension, and
2655 means to securely attach the unit to the manufactured home structure.
2656 (i) Chimney. A listed, factory-built chimney designed to be attached directly to the
2657 fireplace/fireplace stove and equipped with, in accordance with the listing, a termination device
2658 and spark arrester shall be required. The chimney shall extend at least three feet above the part
2659 of the roof through which it passes and at least two feet above the highest elevation of any part
2660 of the manufactured home that is within 10 feet of the chimney.
2661 (ii) Air-intake assembly and combustion-air inlet. An air-intake assembly shall be
2662 installed in accordance with the terms of listings and the manufacturer's instruction. A
2663 combustion-air inlet shall conduct the air directly into the fire chamber and shall be designed to
2664 prevent material from the hearth from dropping on the area beneath the manufactured home.
2665 (iii) Hearth. The hearth extension shall be of noncombustible material that is a
2666 minimum of 3/8-inch thick and shall extend a minimum of 16 inches in front and eight inches
2667 beyond each side of the fireplace/fireplace stove opening. The hearth shall also extend over the
2668 entire surface beneath a fireplace stove and beneath an elevated and overhanging fireplace.
2669 (5) Related to electrical wiring systems:
2670 (a) Testing. All electrical systems shall be tested for continuity, in accordance with
2671 MHCSS 3280.810, to ensure that metallic parts are properly bonded; tested for operation, to
2672 demonstrate that all equipment is connected and in working order; and given a polarity check,
2673 to determine that connections are proper.
2674 (b) 5.2 Protection. The electrical system shall be properly protected for the required
2675 amperage load. If the unit wiring employs aluminum conductors, all receptacles and switches
2676 rated at 20 amperes or less that are directly connected to the aluminum conductors shall be
2677 marked CO/ALA. Exterior receptacles, other than heat tape receptacles, shall be of the
2678 ground-fault circuit interrupter (GCI) type. Conductors of dissimilar metals (copper/aluminum
2679 or copper-clad aluminum) must be connected in accordance with NEC, Section 110-14.
2680 (6) Related to replacement furnaces and water heaters:

2682 manufactured home. Vents, roof jacks, and chimneys necessary for the installation shall be
2683 listed for use with the furnace or water heater.
2684 (b) Securement and accessibility. The furnace and water heater shall be secured in
2685 place to avoid displacement. Every furnace and water heater shall be accessible for servicing,
2686 for replacement, or both as required by MHCSS 3280.709(a).
2687 (c) Installation. Furnaces and water heaters shall be installed to provide complete
2688 separation of the combustion system from the interior atmosphere of the manufactured home,
2689 as required by MHCSS.
2690 (i) Separation. The required separation may be achieved by the installation of a
2691 direct-vent system (sealed combustion system) furnace or water heater or the installation of
2692 furnace and water heater venting and combustion systems from the interior atmosphere of the
2693 home. There shall be no doors, grills, removable access panels, or other openings into the
2694 enclosure from the inside of the manufactured home. All openings for ducts, piping, wiring,
2695 etc., shall be sealed.

2859 (i) using natural gas combustion;
2860 (ii) for use external to the device at a pressure that is less than or equal to 160 pounds
2861 per square inch gage; and
2862 (iii) to a thermostatically controlled temperature less than or equal to:
2863 (A) 210 degrees Fahrenheit; or
2864 (B) 99 degrees Celsius.
2865 (e) "ppm" means parts of Nitrogen Oxide per million parts of water heater air output.
2866 (f) "Recreational vehicle" means the same as that term is defined in Section 13-14-102.
2867 (2) Subject to Subsection (6), a person may not sell or install a natural gas-fired water
2868 heater with an emission rate greater than the following limits:
2869 (a) for a water heater that has a heat input of less than or equal to 75,000 BTU per hour
2870 that is not installed in a mobile home, a limit of:
2871 (i) 10 nanograms per Joule of heat output; or
2872 (ii) 15 ppm, corrected to 3% oxygen;
2873 (b) for a water heater that has a heat input of greater than 75,000 BTU per hour and less
2874 than 2,000,000 BTU per hour that is not installed in a mobile home, a limit of:
2875 (i) 10 nanograms per Joule of heat output; or
2876 (ii) 20 ppm, corrected to 3% oxygen;
2877 (c) for a water heater installed in a mobile home, a limit of:
2878 (i) 40 nanograms per Joule of heat output; or
2879 (ii) 20 ppm, corrected to 3% oxygen;
2880 (d) for a pool or spa water heater with a heat input that is less than or equal to 400,000
2881 BTU per hour, a limit of:
2882 (i) 40 nanograms per Joule of heat output; or
2883 (ii) 55 ppm, corrected to 3% oxygen; and
2884 (e) for a pool or spa water heater with a heat input of greater than 400,000 BTU per
2885 hour and less than 2,000,000 BTU per hour, a limit of:
2886 (i) 14 nanograms per Joule of heat output; or
2887 (ii) 55 ppm, corrected to 3% oxygen.
2888 (3) A water heater manufacturer shall use California South Coast Air Quality
2889 Management District Method 100.1 to calculate the emissions rate of a water heater subject to
2890 this section.
2891 (4) A water heater manufacturer shall display on a water heater subject to this section,
2892 as a permanent label, the model number and the Nitrogen Oxide emission rate of the water
2893 heater.
2894 (5) The requirements of this section do not apply to:
2895 (a) a water heater using a fuel other than natural gas;
