VA Form 26-8731c: Fuel and Heating Systems Inspection Report (Manufactured Home)
VA Form 26-8731c is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Fuel and Heating Systems Inspection Report (Manufactured Home). It is completed and signed by an inspector, and the form has no place for a Veteran or purchaser to sign. A note to the inspector on the form says all inspections must be completed following installation and set-up.
The form is one page. It records the case number, the location and serial number of the home and the inspector's details, then asks for results on the heat producing appliances, the circulating air system, the oil supply piping and the gas supply piping, with a not applicable choice for each fuel supply. The inspector certifies having no interest present or prospective in the system and signs with a license number.
VA's page lists the form under housing assistance. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
