Wash. Admin. Code § 296-150M-0410
Reuse of plastic skylights is not allowed. Skylights must be curb mounted type and step flashed per roofing manufacturer and/or ARMA requirements.
Skylights installed in mobile or manufactured homes with metal roofing must be installed with specific installation instructions. Installations, if not curb mount factory flashed type, shall be flashed and counter flashed per specific installation instructions detailed by the skylight manufacturer or the metal roofing manufacturer.
| Note: | An engineer or architect licensed in Washington state must design the plans and seal the plans and calculations. The department's FAS plan review section will perform a plan review. |
* The lock must be removed and nonlocking passage hardware installed or the door may be removed entirely leaving a passageway. One of the required egress doors must be accessible from the doorway of each bedroom without traveling more than thirty-five feet.
* An exit door at least equal in size to the one removed must be installed in the addition.
* Be in conduit if routed under the home; and
* Terminate at the edge of the home in a junction box.
When awnings and carports are self-supporting they may be flashed to the manufactured/mobile home and no permit is required from L&I FAS section. The awnings and/or carports must be constructed to not block required egress doors or windows. Please check with your local jurisdiction building department for any permits required by them.
Aluminum or wood awnings and carports that use the manufactured/mobile home for support will need to:
* Have the connections to the home designed and the additional load on the home analyzed by an engineer or architect licensed in Washington state. The engineer or architect will need to seal these designs and calculations;
* The installer must submit the designs to the FAS plan review section for a review; and
* The installer must have the installation inspected, after the plans are approved.
If the manufactured home comes from the factory garage ready, no inspection is required by L&I. Garage ready from the factory means:
* Dormers, if required, are installed by the factory;
* All gypsum board required on the home has been installed at the factory;
* Any door between the home and the garage meets the requirements for separation of a residence from a garage as required by the building code;
* All electrical installations meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code for one hour walls;
"The dryer outlet termination has been designed at the factory to not exhaust into the garage; and
" No other changes are required to the manufactured home at the installation site.
| Note: | If any changes are required to the manufactured home at the installation site, an alteration permit is required from the department. |
If the manufactured/mobile home is not garage ready when it leaves the factory, an alteration permit is required. Engineering analysis and plan review may also be required if additional loads are placed upon the home or openings are made or changed.
The following are some examples of when a plan review would be required:
* A dormer is added;
* An opening in the home is made or changed (note: Openings constructed to the department's approved details would not require a plan review); and
* Gypsum board is added to the wall of the home.
Items to also be aware of:
When a garage is to be attached to a manufactured/mobile home, the following must also be considered:
* The means of egress through exterior doors is not compromised (two are required);
* The means of egress from the bedroom(s) is not compromised (one egress directly to the exterior from each); and/or end walls are usually shearwalls and any additional openings in them will need an engineering analysis and plan review to substantiate.
