Pipe Noise S.T.O.P.™
Mass Loaded Vinyl Pipe Wrap Lagging with Decoupler
- Reduces Sound Transmission
- Contains Intrusive Noise
- Improves Health and Safety
- Provides Thermal Insulation
Quieting Noisy Waste Lines
I want to finish part of my basement, but my main waste line runs along one of the walls and it’s very noisy when water goes gurgling through the pipe. How can I reduce the noise?
Noisy waste lines are a more common problem now that most main waste lines are plastic (PVC) rather than cast iron. The fastest and most reliable (but not necessarily the least expensive) solution is to install an acoustic pipe wrap insulation with a foam backing called “noise barrier with decoupler”.

| Mass Loaded Vinyl Pipe Lagging w/Decoupler – Sound Transmission Loss (STC) | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 125 | 250 | 400 | 500 | 1K | 2K | 4K | 5K | STC | |

Acoustical Transmission Loss properties are for a single layer of barrier material. Actual STC of acoustic pipe wrap insulation applied to piping or other structures will vary in performance.
Vinyl pipe wrap lagging dramatically reduces the amount of noise that transmits through the walls of ductwork, PVC and cast iron pipes. When a decoupler layer is added to the acoustic pipe wrap insulation, sound transmission is improved.
CAUTION: Polyurethane foam is flammable and may emit toxic fumes when burned. Do not use near open flame. Check local codes for allowed use. Manufacturer assumes no liability.
