RHINO APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging

Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging is recommended for reducing noise generated by rainwater or waste pipes. It is typically used to wrap PVC or metal pipes in residential or multi-residential buildings, as well as in commercial buildings such as cinemas, auditoriums and concert halls. Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging is a combination of a loaded polymer barrier adhered to convoluted acoustic foam with an outer layer of Aluminium Foil Tri-Laminate.

Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging addresses the Building Code of Australia (Part F5) requirements that the sound insulation performance floors and walls in Class 2 and 3 multi-residential buildings shall not be adversely affected by pipe or service penetrations.

The BCA recognises the common problem of noise intrusion from waste pipes and specifies minimum standards of noise separation between such pipes and habitable room spaces (bedrooms, lounges, dining and family rooms) and non habitable room spaces (bathrooms, kitchens and laundries).

In these cases, Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging must be applied to pipes adjacent to ceiling penetrations such as air conditioning ducts, vents, downlights and exhaust fans. Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging correctly installed within a ‘deemed to satisfy’ construction, meets these requirements.

AS1530.3 early fire hazard properties of materials
Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging shall form part of a safe building and conform to fire class standards AS1530.3.1999 with 0,0,0,1 performance. It will also comply to Group 3 under ISO 5660-1 heat release, smoke propagation rate. Foil facing shall meet requirements of BS 476 part 6 & 7 Class 0.

Installation
Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging can be cut from rolls to fit the required PVC waste pipe diameter. All butt joins must be taped. Reinforced aluminium foil tape is recommended for this application. Reinforced aluminium foil tape must be a minimum of 48mm in width. As well as taping all longitudinal and circumferential joins, it is recommended that a band of tape be applied midway along each section to overcome sagging and to ensure Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging is held in close contact with the pipe. Rhino APL Acoustic Pipe Lagging is easily cut with a sharp knife.
