It is able tocomply with the requirements of Building Code of Australia (BCA) fordifferent types of residential buildings, such as:- Double storey homes- Multi-storey apartment blocks- Condominiums- Multi storey townhousesThe sound-insulating drainage system RAUPIANO PLUS is suitablefor above & below ground installation inside and outside the buildingstructure. This is in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.2 and the NCC Volume3 as certified under Watermark WM70060 in buildings and WM71503below ground. Installation must be carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.2 and the National Constructon Code. Observations of DINEN 12056, DIN EN 752, DIN 1986-100 and DIN EN 1610 are alsorecommended.2.1.2 Commercial buildingsBehaviour in fire corresponds to B2 normal combustibility according toDIN 4102 and D-S3,d0 according to EN 13501-1.The pipe connections are leak-proof up to an internal excess waterpressure of 1 bar (10 m water column). The Push-Fit Lock socketconnection allows for a higher pressure of up to 2 bar (20 m watercolumn). See section 7.14 for more information.RAUPIANO PLUS, with its special acoustic characteristics, can alsobe installed in commercial buildings that require stricter acousticrequirements such as:- Hotels- Office buildings6

- Hospitals- Shopping Centres- Supermarkets- Aged Care FacilitiesRAUPIANO PLUS meets the increasing need for peace and quiet andensures a high level of living comfort.2.1.4 Not suitable applicationsPipes and fittings may not be used for:- installation subjected to continuous operating temperature higher than90˚C (or higher than 95˚C for brief periods)- carrying waste water containing prohibited chemicals (see section 13)- exposed installation to UV radiation (e.g. sunlight) directly and indirectly2.1.3 Trade wasteIf used in cold areas, where installations are commonly done undertemperature below -10˚C, additional tests are required according toAS/NZS 7671.RAUPIANO PLUS has passed the test and therefore marked with the “icecrystal” according to AS/NZS 7671 and DIN EN 1411 and can be installedin these regions.RAUPIANO PLUS is not suitable for syphonic drainage systems. For outletof ventilation lines, use pipes suitable for outdoor installation instead ofRAUPIANO PLUS.The pipes, fittings and seals can be operated continuously at 90˚C(and up to 95°C for brief periods). They are suitable for the drainage ofchemically aggressive waste water with a pH value of 2 (acidic) to 12(basic). Please refer to chemical resistance list.RAUPIANO PLUS is ideal for drainage of greasy waste water fromcommercial kitchens up to the grease separator.For lengthy grease waste lines, the use of pipe trace heating maybe necessary. This prevents premature grease accumulation. Thetemperature of the pipe trace heating suitable for plastic pipes may notexceed 45°C. Refer to chemical resistance chart in chapter 13.Observe all applicable national and international regulations oninstallation, accident prevention and safety, together with the informationcontained in this manual.Areas of application which are not included in this technical information(special applications) require consultation with our technical department.Please contact your REHAU sales office.7

2.2 Pipe structureThe RAUPIANO PLUS multi-layer pipe construction achieves superiorproperties through the application of distinct functional layers combinedin a composite construction.Three separate layers impart unique characteristics to the pipe.The abrasion resistant, low friction inner layer ensures the easytransit of waste. The mineral filled mid-layer ensures superb sounddampening properties and also offers increased stiffness. Finally, therobust outer layer is tough enough to withstand impacts and shocks.Features:- Multi-layer pipe system:- Smooth yet abrasion-resistant inner layer made of PP- Rigid middle layer made of PP with sound-dampening minerals- Impact resistance and UV-stabilized outer layer made of PP- Built-in push-fit socket with factory-fitted sealing ring providing flexibleand vibration-resistant joints- Temperature resistance up to 95°C- Chemical resistance from pH 2 – 12. Refer to Chapter 13- High ring stiffness- 100% recyclableCombined together, the composite layers create a tough, durablepipe, with outstanding acoustic properties that gives all thefunctionality of a drainage pipe system combined with the noiseabsorption properties of lagging.Abrasion-resistant and lowfriction inner layer made of PPImpact-resistant and shockproofouter layer made of PPADVANTAGES:- State-of-the-art sound insulation technologies, no acoustic-laggingrequired- Suitable for special applications requiring high temperature andchemical resistance such as trade waste. Please refer to chemicalresistance list.- Green system due to low energy production and 100% recyclability- Simple and fast installation- 100% leak-proof connection- Flexible joint suitable for tremor-prone areas- Fracture resistant at –10˚C.- Uncompromising fire-protection solutions- Can be stored outdoors for up to 1 year.- Complete pipe, fitting, adapters and bracket rangeFig. 2-1RAUPIANO PLUS pipe structure.Highly rigid and sound-insulating middlelayer made of mineral-reinforced PPRAUPIANO's ideal characteristics are achieved thanks to the three-layerstructure of the pipe and the specialised adaptation of each individuallayer to its respective requirement:- High ring stiffness- Excellent impact strength of the outer layer at low temperature- Increased UV-resistance- Abrasion-resistant and smooth inner layer- Highly rigid and sound-insulating middle layer made of mineralreinforced PP8

2.3 FittingsRedirections in water flow at bends causes increased turbulence whichresults in greater air-borne sound transmission.RAUPIANO PLUS bends from size DN110 to DN160 consist of targetedmass optimisation zones which help to reduce sound transmission inthese areas.RAUPIANO PLUS system has been independently tested by Renzo Toninand Associates, a member of the Association of Australian AcousticalConsultants (AAAC) at the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL). Testresults were assessed by a separate AAAC member to ensure impartialityof the report. The report found conclusively that RAUPIANO PLUS pipesystem exceeds the R w + C tr 40 requirement of the National ConstructionCode Vol.1 / Building Code of Australia, and that a stand alone RAUPIANOPLUS system is comparable, in terms of sound insulation, to a fully laggedPVC system behind a specified ceiling separation. Refer to Chapter 4Sound insulation.The acoustic test letters from the assessing acoustic engineers areavailable in the Appendix A.2.5 MarkingFig. 2-2RAUPIANO PLUS bend with reinforced impact area.Pipes and fittings are marked with the following:- Watermark- Manufacturer’s mark- Approval number- Mark of quality- Ice crystal (AS/NZS 7671 and DIN EN 1411)- Nominal diameter (DN)- Year of manufacture- Production line- Material- Angle specification (with elbows and branches)Fig. 2-3 Specially designed bends with increased wall thickness reduce airtransmittedsound even further.2.4 Sound insulationThe sound-insulating drainage system RAUPIANO PLUS offersquality, quietness and living comfort in important areas of a building.9

TransportationRAUPIANO PLUS proves its robustness during transport and at theconstruction site thanks to its three-layer structure and impact-resistantand shock-proof outer layer. Ensure that pipes make firm contact overtheir entire length.Storage- Protect boxes from moisture during transport and storage.- RAUPIANO PLUS and its seals can be stored outdoors for up to 1 yearWe recommend:- Protecting RAUPIANO PLUS pipes and fittings from direct sunlight andsoiling by:- storing in the box- covering them with tarpaulins (ensure proper ventilation).- Stack no more than four wooden crates on top of one another.- Ensure that the wood frames are aligned squarely when stacking.- Store pipes in such a way that no objects are placed on top of or in thesockets and male ends and that these are not deformed.RAUPIANO delivery procedureKey points to remember:- Treat RAUPIANO with care to avoid damage.- Take pipe out of bags prior to delivery to check condition. Put back inbag if possible.- Do not over tighten the ratchet on the ute.- Pipe can still be used with small indentations as long as both the maleand female ends are not damaged and the O-ring is in place.CORRECT TRANSPORTATION PROCEDUREWHAT NOT TO DOWhere possible use a truck for deliveries. Lay pipe flat on the tray Do not throw pipe into the tray Do not throw pipe off the uteKeep pipe strapped down so it doesn’t roll around and remainssupportedDo not over tighten with ratchetTake care with O-rings and ensurethey are in good conditionAlternate socket and pipe ends when loading pipeUnsupported pipes can bendKeep pipes clear of buildingdebris whilst on siteFig. 2-4Transporting of RAUPIANO PLUS10

RAUPIANO PLUSSOUND INSULATION4.4.1 BasicsAir-borne noiseIn every area of building construction, especially the construction ofmulti-storey apartment blocks, hospitals and rehabilitation homes, soundinsulation plays an increasingly important role. One of the most significantsources of sound within buildings is the sanitation set-up and theaccompanying drainage water pipe system.Typical sources of sound include:- Fitting noises- Filling noises- Draining noises- Inlet noises- Impact noises- TurbulanceAir-borne noise is present if the noises of a sound source are transferreddirectly through the air to human ears.Structure-borne noiseWith structure-borne noise, the sound transfer first occurs through a solidbody. This body vibrates and passes the vibrations on to human ears asairborne noise.Unsuitable drainage pipe system and type of brackets are considerablecontributors to disturbing noise. RAUPIANO PLUS, a system-tested,versatile sound-insulating drainage water system, puts things right.Airborne noiseStructure-borne noiseA differentiation is made between air-borne noise and structure-bornenoise.Fig. 4-1Air-borne and structure-borne noise.23

RAUPIANO PLUSSOUND INSULATION4.2 Sound insulation requirements for AustraliaSound insulation requirements differ from country to country and fromone building type to another. In Australia the NCC / BCA Volume One PartF5 outlines the requirements for sound insulation:- F5.6 Sound insulation rating of servicesFor the Northern Territory:- R w 45 if the adjacent room is habitable (other than a kitchen); or- R w 30 if the adjacent room is a kitchen or non-habitableWeighted sound reduction index (R w ) is the number used to rate theeffectiveness of a system as a noise insulator. An increase in one Rw unitapproximately equals a reduction of one decibel in noise level.NCC/BCA Acoustic requirementThe NCC / BCA specifies that if a pipe that is located in a wall or floorcavity, serves or passes through more than one sole-occupancy unit, thepipe must be separated from the rooms by construction with an R w+C tr of:Weighted sound reduction index plus spectrum adaptation term (R w +C tr )takes into account the lower frequency noise. C tr is a negative number, soR w +C tr value will always be lower than Rw value.- 40 if the adjacent room is habitable (other than a kitchen); or- 25 if the adjacent room is a kitchen or non-habitableKitchenBathroomBedroomSeperation between the noise source (water/waste) and the habitable room must have asound reduction level of R w + C tr 40 accordingto NCC/BCA Volume 1 Class F5.6 for servicesR w + C tr 25passing through habitable rooms. For theNorthern Territory a sound reduction level ofR w + C tr 40R w 45 is required.KitchenBathroomBedroomFig. 4-2NCC/BCA Acoustic requirement.24

4.3 Sound reduction with RAUPIANO PLUSUNPROTECTED PIPEWORKBoth structure-borne and air-borne noises occur in drainage pipesystems. The wall of the pipe vibrates due to water currents and flownoises. The type and intensity of these pipe vibrations depend on a varietyof factors, such as the mass of the pipe, the pipe material, its inner sounddampening material and installation method.123The pipe vibrations are emitted directly from the pipe as air-borne noiseand are transferred as structure-borne noise via the pipe brackets to thewall.4When developing a sound-insulating drainage water system, both types ofnoise distribution must be taken into account.Airborne noise insulation with RAUPIANO PLUSFig. 4-4Sound distribution with sewer pipe systems.1 Structure-borne noise2 Standard drainage pipe3 Standard bracket (pipe clamp with/without rubber ply)4 Airborne noiseAirborne noise is reduced by RAUPIANO PLUS due to special materials,sound-dampening minerals and increased weight of the pipe system.Targeted mass optimisation in sound-sensitive areas of fitting elbows ofnominal diameter DN 110 to DN 160 provides further improvement atredirection points.Structure-borne noise insulation with RAUPIANO PLUSThe transmission of structure-borne noise to the wall is reduced withRAUPIANO PLUS with the use of patented, sound dampening brackets:- A supporting clamp with loose gap in the pipe is fastened to the wall- A fastening clamp rests onto the supporting clamp, keeping the pipe inpositionThis extensive physical decoupling of the pipe, bracket and wall meansthat the transmission of structure-borne noise is eliminated to a highdegree (see Chapter 7 for installation details).PROTECTED PIPEWORK5Fig. 4-5Sound insulation with RAUPIANO PLUS.1 Reduction of structure-borne noise2 RAUPIANO PLUS pipe with sound-dampening fillers3 RAUPIANO PLUS bracket, patented sound-dampeningsupport bracket4 Reduction of airborne noise5 Reduced overall noise level142325

RAUPIANO PLUSSOUND INSULATION4.4 Laboratory testing of sound-insulation behaviour4.4.2 Acoustic test results4.4.1 Acoustic testingAcknowledging the different installation practices and the effects onacoustic level reading in the building, REHAU engaged several acousticconsultants to perform extensive acoustic tests on RAUPIANO PLUSdrainage system under different configurations. The acoustic tests wereperformed in:In Australia and New Zealand, buildings can be classified intotwo categories:- For buildings regulated by NCC/BCA- For buildings not regulated by NCC/BCAOur extensive acoustic test results provide the necessary data for bothcategories.- National Acoustic Laboratory (NAL) by Renzo Tonin & Associates- McLay Industries Facility (MIF) by ASK Consulting Engineers- Technical and Further Education South Australia (TAFE SA) by AECOMRAUPIANO PLUS pipe system has been independently tested using anestablished acoustic industry test based on ISO 140 testing methodologyand independently rated to ISO 717, then assessed in accordance withthe requirements of NCC/BCA.Buildings regulated by NCC/BCABased on the acoustic test done in NAL, RAUPIANO PLUS system can beinstalled without acoustic lagging for the following requirements:- R w + C tr 40- R w 45To ensure close proximity to real-life noise, full-toilet flush was usedduring measurement.

RAUPIANO PLUSinstallation7.7.2 Pipe AssemblyAll schematic show general examples only and are not intended to satisfythe installation requirements for any particular project. For the installationof RAUPIANO PLUS waste water piping system, national and local codes,rules and regulations, as well as local conditions and the demands of theend use customer need to be considered.Like other materials at low temperatures, the mineral-reinforced pipematerial RAU-PP becomes brittle and thus more sensitive to impacts.7.1 Cutting and Chamfering1. Clean dirt from sealing ring, socket interior and pipe end.2. Use small amount of RAUPIANO lubricant (eg. a 10mm drop) tomoisten male end and O-ring and slide into the socket until itstops.3. Mark inserted male end in this position at the socket edge witha pencil, pen etc.4. With longer pipes (> 500 mm), pull the male end out anadditional 10 mm from the socket to create an expansion jointfor heat-related expansion.5. With short pipes (≤ 500 mm) and fittings, insert the male endsfully into the socket.ca. 10 mmFig. 7-1Pulling out pipe ends for expansion joints.1. Cut the pipes with common pipe cutters or a fine-toothed saw.2. Make a cut at 90° angle from the pipe axis.3. De-burr the inner diameter of the pipe.4. For connections to push-fit socket pipe systems, taper the pipeends with a tapering tool (i.e. Rothenberger Rocut cutter andchamferring tool 55020 for pipes DN40 to DN110. Reece Code:7705255) or a coarse file at an angle of approximately 15°.By pulling out the male ends from the socket, the changes in length ofthe pipe caused by temperature fluctuations are absorbed in the push-fitsockets.Each RAUPIANO PLUS pipe socket can accept the changes in lengthof a waste pipe up to 3 m in length (coefficient of linear expansion inaccordance with DIN 53752 averages 0.09 mm/(m·K) at 0°C to 70°C).Fittings must not be cut.When the pipe is installed in ground it is not required to pull the male endout by 10mm to provide an expansion joint.31

7.3 Handling cut lengths7.4 Installation of additional fittingsCut lengths (pipes with smooth ends) can be handled with double socketsand slip-on socket up to a maximum pipe length of 3 m.The installation of additional fittings in an existing pipeline is possible withslip-on socket:Pipe stopperDouble socketSlip-on socketIf pipe sections with fittings or short pipes are formed:- Prevent the pipe components from sliding apart with fixing brackets.- Secure socket plug from being pushed out by installing securing clip.1. Cut out a sufficiently long section of pipe from the pipeline:fitting length + 2 x pipe outer diameter2. De-burr pipe ends.3. Slide slip-on socket all the way onto one end of the pipe.4. Slide fitting onto the other end of the pipe.5. Fit adapter into the remaining space of the pipe and de-burr.6. Slide second slip-on socket all the way onto the adapter.7. Insert adapter and close both gaps by sliding the slip-on socket.Use REHAU lubricant liberally here.Fig. 7-3Installing fitting.1 slip-on socket d a Pipe outer diameter2 Adapter1 5 331 5max. 10xODmax. 10xODmax. 10xOD42 4 55 4 2 4max. 10xODmax. 10xODmax. 10xODFig. 7-2Using double sockets and slip-on socket in vertical stacksFig 7-4Using double sockets and slip-on socket in horizontal installations1 Double socket2 Slip-on socket3 Guiding clamp (green)4 Guiding clamp (green) at 15-20mmdistance to the slip-on socket5 Sound-dampening bracket6 Sound-dampening bracketat 15-20mm distance to theslip-on socket1 Double socket2 Slip-on socket3 Guiding clamp (green)4 Guiding clamp (green) at 15-20mmdistance to the slip-on socket5 Fixing clamp (black)32

7.5.2 Vertical stackTo achieve optimum acoustic insulation, use only RAUPIANO PLUS sounddampening brackets during assembly.3. Open supporting clamp, insert pipe with fastening clamp and closesupporting clamp.RAUPIANO PLUS drainage pipes must be installed tension-free.7.5.2.1 Assembly of Sound Dampening BracketThe patented sound-dampening support bracket consists of a supportingclamp (loose) and a fastening clamp (tight, sits above supporting clamp).One sound-dampening support bracket per storey is sufficient.1. Fit fastening clamp around the pipe and close it.Fig. 7-16Closing supporting clamp.After installation, the fastening clamp fully lies on the supporting clamp.This achieves optimum sound decoupling.Fig. 7-14Fastening clamp, secured around pipe2. Assemble supporting clamp on masonry.Fig. 7-17Fully installed sound-dampening bracket.Fig. 7-15Supporting clamp assembled, opened.A spacer is attached at the closure of the support clamp to prevent theclamp being closed completely. This ensures minimum transmission ofstructure-borne noise to the wall.35

The P-trap siphon is to beused together with DN 110 bend 45°.When installing this P-trap, it is important to install the pipe supportproperly to ensure safe operation of the drainage system.Fig. 7-21 Removing the BaffleThe P-trap siphon can be supported by attaching a hook into the built-inhole.37

7.8 Cleaning the waste pipe systemFig. 7-26 RAUPIANO PLUS securing clip.Fig. 7-24RAUPIANO PLUS I.O. access pipe.The socket plug can be used to plug-off the pipe ends if they are notin use. The socket plug is to be used together with the securing clip toensure a safe and tight jointing.Installing access pipes enables mechanical cleaning of the waste pipesystem.7.10 Installing pipes in masonryRAUPIANO PLUS access pipe is supplied with insert to ensure flushingsurface for smooth and uninterrupted water flow.Place the insert into the access opening and tighten the screw cap withrubber seal inserted.Do not use sharp cleaning devices for mechanical cleaning.7.9 Socket plugObserve the applicable national regulations for recesses and slots in themasonry.- Make wall chases and penetrations in such a way that the pipeline canbe laid without tension.- Avoid sound bridges between the masonry and the pipe.If the pipes will be plastered directly without using a plaster board:- Fully wrap pipes and fittings with flexible materials such asmineral or glass wool, to prevent sound bridges between the pipe andplaster or masonry.- In locations where temperatures above 90°C may be reached dueto external heat sources, protect pipes and fittings with appropriatemeasures to avoid excessive heat.Fig. 7-25 RAUPIANO PLUS socket plug.38

7.11 Installing pipes in concreteWhen installing in concrete, fully wrap pipes and fittings with flexiblemoisture-proof and sound-insulating materials, to prevent sound bridgesbetween the pipe and the concrete.- Fix pipes appropriately to prevent movement during concreteapplication.- Ensure sufficient expansion joints when installing the pipe.- Seal off socket gap with adhesive strips to prevent the penetration ofconcrete.- Seal off pipe openings with socket plugs before concrete application.Fig. 7-27 Typical ceiling penetration through non-fire rated building elements(General example only)7.13 Installation as stormwater pipingThere is a risk of condensation on pipes installed as stormwater pipingwithin the building.CAUTIONDanger of damage to property!Damage to the pipelines!- Avoid placing the weight of the concrete on the pipelines by makingprovisions for dissipating the load, e.g. by using:- Spacers in the case of reinforcing steels- Carrying boxes- Brackets- Avoid walking on the pipes during concrete application.7.12 Ceiling penetrationsCeiling penetrations must be constructed to be moisture-proof andsound-insulating as per BCA requirements. Fire-protection measurementsare necessary if pipes penetrate through fire-rated building elements.Refer to chapter 5 for details.If mastic asphalt is to be applied to the floor:Protect exposed pipeline components with ceiling liner, protective sleevesor by wrapping them with heat-insulating materials.Condensation appears when the temperature of the pipe walls dropsbelow the dew point temperature of the ambient air due to cold rain water,for example. Humidity from the ambient air then condenses on the pipesurface.It is recommended to wrap all pipework where condensation could occurwith closed-cell insulation materials.Fixing of stormwater pipingTo prevent the pipelines from sliding apart, a security clamp is to beattached to the pipe directly below the sound-dampening bracket.

7.14 RAUPIANO Push-Fit LockThe RAUPIANO Push-Fit Lock increases the socket joint integrity bypreventing the pipe from being pulled-out of the socket at higher load.Push-Fit Lock Application1. Stormwater Downpipe installed inside buildings up to a maximumpressure of 2 bar (20 m).2. Connection of Pump stations up to a maximum pressure of 2 bar3. As an alternative solution, the Push-Fit Lock can be used to securethe socket plug, it would be used in replacement of using a securingclip.For Pump station application, it is recommended to install the Push-FitLock around all sockets in horizontal and vertical pipework where theapplied pump pressure may exceed 1 bar.In stormwater applications it is recommended to install the Push-Fit Lockaround all sockets in horizontal and vertical pipework in buildings of morethan 10m in height.In addition, the Push-Fit Lock can also be used to prevent the pipe fromsliding apart during installation phase.It is easily installed and dismantled. The auto-locking assemblymechanism prevents it from falling off the pipe, even when the Push-FitLock has not been tightened yet.Installation is simple, fast and secure. The necessary bolts and nuts aresupplied together with the Push-Fit Lock.Fig. 7-29 Push-Fit Lock assembled on a socket40

RAUPIANO PLUSLEAK TEST10.10.2 Air TestThe leak test must be carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.2For pipes installed below ground, testing shall be conducted prior to theplacement of the trench fill (backfill).10.1 Hydrostatic testWhere there are water restrictions or the network provider has a watermanagement strategy, hydrostatic testing may not be permitted, in whichcase an air or vacuum seal test must be conducted. In accordance withsection 13 of AS/NZS 3500.2The sanitary plumbing and sanitary drainage shall be filled with water -(a) in the case of sanitary drainage, to a height of not less than 1mabove the pipe soffit level at the highest point of the section being tested;(b) in the case of sanitary plumbing, to the spill level of the highestfixture or to the flood level of the lowest sanitary fixture, whichever ishigher; and(c) in the case of pipe installed below ground, to a height not lessthan 2 m (or 20 kPa ) above the pipe soffit level at the highest point ofthe section being tested or 2 m (or 20 kPa ) above ground water table,whichever is the greater.Alternatively, the test can be carried out with air.The air test is carried out with:- Test pressure 15 kPa1. Ensure firm and sealed seating of plugs.2. Pressurise the system and stabilize for a minimum of 3 minuteswhile checking for leaks3. After pressure is stabilized commence the test by allowing thepressure to reduce to 10 kPa4. Start test time and record drop in pressure during the test time5.

RAUPIANO PLUSCHEMICAL RESISTANCE13.Pipe and fittingThe specifications below are used as a general guidance as to thechemical resistance of the material and cannot simply be applied toall applications. They shall not be used as a guidance to determine thepossible affects on the reagent. Mechanical behaviour can be impaired incases where tension and the presence of chemicals occur simultaneously(tension-fracture corrosion).Rubber sealing ringThe types of rubber used generally exhibit high chemical resistance,but components of esters, ketones and aromatic and chlorinatedhydrocarbons in sewer water can lead to swelling of the material, whichcan influence the tightness of the connection.If in doubt, we recommend testing the suitability of the pipe, fitting andseal material in existing systems or have them checked in a laboratory.Contact REHAU if necessary.Table legendr = resistantcr = conditionally resistantnr = not resistant– = not testedReagent Concentr.

Testing was conducted in the McLay Industries Acoustical Labsbased in Brisbane which is compliant with all aspects of Australian Standard 1191-2002.Testing was conducted to provide a direct comparison of noise emissions from waste pipesconsisting of a HDPE pipe lagged with a 25mm foam and loaded vinyl (5kg/m 2 ) product and aRaupiano Plus pipe in an un-lagged arrangement. The Rehau was also fitted with Rehau sounddampeningbrackets. The pipes compared had identical configurations with bends and a fall heightof approximately 500mm.The comparative testing demonstrated that the Raupiano Plus Pipework emitted slightly lowernoise levels than the lagged HDPE product when located behind a single layer of plasterboardrepresenting the presence of a ceiling.For the control of noise emissions from waste pipes in offices, education, health and defencebuildings there are no specific BCA requirements. In these instances for the acoustical separation ofthe waste pipes is usually achieved by the application of a foam and loaded vinyl acoustic laggingacoustical treatment applied to waste pipes above acoustically sensitive spaces.Based on the testing undertaken by ASK, in situations where waste pipe fall heights are 500mm orless and the pipe is contained within an enclosed ceiling space, the application of the Raupiano Pluspipe, fitted with Rehau sound-dampening brackets provides equivalent or lower levels of noiseemission to a HDPE pipe lagged with a foam and loaded vinyl acoustical lagging.On the basis of this testing the Rehau Raupiano Plus pipe system is considered as an acousticallysatisfactory substitute to lagged HDPE in buildings where there are not specific BCA requirementsand where fall heights are less than 500mm and the Rehau sound-dampening brackets are applied.Yours faithfullyASK Consulting Engineers Pty LtdMichael LanchesterAssociateRef: 6490L01V02.docx Page 1 of 159

Testing was undertaken in a purpose-built facility at Regency Park TAFE SA, Adelaide,South Australia between 22 October and 5 December 2013.Testing was undertaken to allow comparison between REHAU RAUPIANO, PVC and HDPE pipe work, with andwithout Pyrotech 4525C pipework lagging for the following ceiling constructions, with and without R2.0 90 mmthick fibreglass batt ceiling insulation:- 10 mm and 13 mm thick flushed plasterboard- 10 mm thick Boral Endura vinyl faced plasterboard ceiling tiles (1200 mm x 600 mm)- 16 mm thick Armstrong Fine Fissured ceiling tiles (1200 mm x 600 mm)- 19 mm thick CSR USG Mars ClimaPlus ceiling tiles (1200 mm x 600 mm)A wall construction of 13mm plasterboard with cavity insulation was also tested.Three identical pipework layouts were used, each with a flow source of 9 Litres of water gravity fed from a toiletcistern. Spatial averaged measurements were undertaken within the test room, with all measurement datanormalised to a test cell absorption area of 10m 2 . An initial test with identical PVC pipe installations showed nosignificant difference in measured noise levels between the three pipework layouts within the test room.We have formed the following conclusions based upon the test results:- REHAU RAUPIANO will generally provide a lower noise level than lagged PVC and HDPE when installedwithin a ceiling space that has insulation laid above a flushed plasterboard, plasterboard tile, or mineral fibretile ceiling.- REHAU RAUPIANO will generally provide a noise level within 3 dB(A) of lagged PVC and HDPE wheninstalled within a ceiling space that does not have insulation laid above a flushed plasterboard, plasterboardtile, or mineral fibre tile ceiling. However, we are of the opinion that this will generally not be noticeable to thehuman ear.- REHAU RAUPIANO will provide a lower noise level than lagged PVC when installed within a wall cavitybehind 13 mm plasterboard with cavity insulation.In terms of noise emission we are of the opinion that REHAU RAUPIANO is a suitable alternative to lagged PVCor lagged HDPE when installed in combination with ceiling or wall constructions that are acoustically equivalent tothose tested.Yours faithfullySimon MoorePrincipal Engineer - Acousticssimon.moore@aecom.comp:\60310081\4. documents\60310081-a14a01lt.docxRef: 60310081-A14A01LT60
