of the noise.

4525C is the most cost effective acoustic pipe lagging to satisfy the Australian Build
Codes RW 45 requirement.
4525C having hydrolysis resistant foam and flexible loaded vinyl, protected by a tough
reinforced foil ensures Soundlag 4525C will last a lifetime.
4525C reduces the noise in hydraulic and waste pipes by 25 dB(A).
4525C is the easiest installed of all the available systems.

MEETING THE AUSTRALIAN BUILDING CODE WITH SOUNDLAG 4525C

Hydraulic Consultants and Architects are largely responsible for the selection of adequate pipe
insulation and a quiet, non-intrusive system is demanded particularly in prestige office and modern
multi-storey developments. Pyroteks SOUNDLAG 4525C is a combination of loaded polymer
adhered to acoustic foam with an outer layer of reinforced aluminium foil. The combination of
these materials gives the best sound transmission loss results as well as a four zero fire rating. The
Australian Building Code requires Rw ratings of 30 and 45 in non habitable and habitable rooms
respectively.

Pipes correctly lagged with Soundlag 4525C within the right structure achieve the above results.
The diagrams outlined above are systems provided by Peter Knowland Acoustic Consultants (PKA),
based on the actual test results (ATF 750B Report) of Soundlag 4525C carried out at the National
Acoustic Laboratory (NAL), in Sydney. Field tests were conducted at the Walsh Bay acoustic test facility whereby a bathroom system comprising of a toilet, basin and floor waste was installed on top of
the test facility with PVC soil and waste pipes penetrating the concrete slab and passing through the
receiving room. Tested in accordance to International Standard ISO 140-1, 1997.
Soundlag 4525C must be applied on pipes that pass over ceiling penetrations such as air
conditioning ducts, lack of air gap, vents, downlights, manholes and exhaust fans.

DID YOU KNOW?

The manufacturers of standard
and heavy density acoustic pipes
recommend that pipes installed above
ceilings must be fully lagged with sound
insulation material, (where penetrations
such as air conditioning ducts, ceiling
fans, downlights, vents and mineral
ceiling tiles are installed).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
STEP 1
Measure the length and diameter of the pipe requiring lagging.

m
STEP 2
To calculate the required width of Soundlag apply the formula below
WIDTH = x (OD + (2xT))+OL
where: OD = outside diameter of the pipe
= 3.14
T = thickness of Soundlag (25mm nom.)
OL= Overlap (50mm)

Example:
For 100 mm pipe + Soundlag
W = 3.14 x (100 + (2 x 25))+50 = 521mm

cut

W
STEP 3
Once the width is calculated, Soundlag can easily be cut with a sharp knife or scissors.
STEP 4
Wrap Soundlag around the pipe and use high quality aluminium tape
(complying with AS1530.3 Four Zero Fire Rating) to join the product together.
All joins must be overlapped by 50mm to ensure a good acoustic seal.
