I agree with you here Brian, but The "Feds" allow this for manufactured housing. . .

It doesn't make it right, but when the MH is first installed, it is generally done so under HUD standards. Another issue is with the dryer vents. They are also terminated beneath the carriage.

I always recommend routing dryer vents and TPR terminations to the exterior for resale, but I've been "schooled" by the local HUD inspectors about making these recommendations on an original installation.

Making recommendations outside of their standards can unnecessarily delay funding.

I have narratives that address MH specifically with explanations of some of the differences between Federal standards and California standards. This is in an effort to avoid the inevitable call from the seller of a home that I inspected on an original installation. There are several items that must come into compliance with CA standards on a resale.

Piping also blocks removal / replacment of the hot water heater unless you cut it off at the floor, and shouldn't PVC or CPVC be supported.
