Structural Moisture Analysis with Deep Penetration Pins

The Tramex Hammer Pin Probe is the industry-standard tool for obtaining accurate, subsurface moisture readings in wood where surface meters cannot reach.

  • Heavy-Duty Sliding Action: The weighted “hammer” mechanism allows pins to be driven easily into the toughest hardwoods and structural timbers.

  • 1.5″ Insulated Pins: Specifically designed to measure moisture only at the tip, preventing surface dampness from giving a false-positive reading.

  • Universal Compatibility: Plug-in connection works with the Tramex CMEX5, MEX5, and previous professional models.

  • Replaceable Pin System: Uses standard heavy-duty Tramex pins that can be easily replaced if bent or broken on site.

  • Ergonomic Full-Hand Grip: Designed to reduce user fatigue while providing the leverage needed for deep penetration into subfloors and framing.

  • Essential for Restoration: A critical tool for following IICRC standards when documenting the drying of structural wood components.

  • Delivers Precision profiling: As required by flooring specialists, surveyors, and restorers.

 

The Tramex Hammer Pin Probe is a heavy-duty accessory designed for professional moisture measurement deep within timber, wood flooring, and structural framing. Equipped with 1.5″ insulated pins, this robust “sliding hammer” tool allows restoration technicians and building inspectors to bypass surface moisture and measure the core moisture content of dense wood substrates.

Engineered for durability on New Zealand job sites, the Tramex Hammer Pin Probe features a rugged, ergonomic design that ensures maximum penetration with minimal effort. It is fully compatible with the Tramex 5-Series (CMEX5, MEX5) and older professional meters, providing a reliable pin-type measurement to complement non-destructive moisture surveys. Whether you are inspecting structural timber or high-end hardwood flooring, this probe is essential for identifying hidden moisture pockets that could lead to rot or floor failure.

Key Features & Professional Advantages:

  • Deep Sub-Surface Measurement: Utilizes 1.5”(approx 35mm) insulated pins (SP52) to reach moisture deep within timber, ensuring you measure the true core moisture content, not just the surface.
  • Accurate Moisture Profiling: The hammer-action design allows technicians to gently drive the pins to a precise, repeatable depth. This capability is vital for mapping moisture gradients throughout the wood structure during water damage restoration.
  • Insulated Pin Technology: The insulation on the SP52 pins ensures that only the uninsulated tips are conductive, preventing surface moisture interference and isolating the reading to the desired depth for reliable data.
  • Rugged Construction: Built with a durable handle and shielded cable, the TM-HE1.5 is engineered for heavy-duty, consistent use in demanding field environments like construction sites and water damage projects.
  • Seamless Tramex Compatibility: Quickly and securely connects to your Tramex CMEX5 or MEX5 meter via the supplied shielded cable and standard Tramex bayonet fitting, instantly converting the meter to pin-mode functionality.

Ideal Applications:

  1. Water Damage Restoration: Monitor and document the drying progress in structural timber, framing, and thick wood members to verify drying completion.
  2. Flooring & Subfloors: Check the moisture content (% MC) of thick hardwood, engineered flooring, and subfloors to meet manufacturing and installation specifications.
  3. Building Surveying: Investigate concealed moisture sources or hidden structural leaks behind finishes in timber-framed buildings.
  4. Quality Assurance (QA): Verify the moisture content of wood products in manufacturing and joinery before assembly or shipment.
