Electrode For Wall Cavities
Model No. :
Brand : Delmhorst
The 21-E is a specialized Behind-The-Wall Probe designed for non-destructive inspection of moisture content in materials concealed by finished surfaces. Utilizing Teflon insulated pins, it allows the user to penetrate materials like drywall or stucco to take accurate readings in wall cavities and insulation, isolating the measurement at the pin tips.
- Specialized probe for behind-the-wall moisture testing.
- Insulated pins measure moisture at 3 ¼” depth.
- Ideal for water damage restoration and roof materials.
− Features
- Deep Penetration Capability: Comes standard with Teflon insulated No. 608 pins, providing up to 3 ¼”(8.25 cm) of penetration, ensuring the electrode reaches insulation or framing within standard wall assemblies.
- Insulated Pin Accuracy: The Teflon insulation prevents electrical contact with shallow or surface moisture, guaranteeing that the resistance reading is taken only at the deepest point of contact (the uninsulated tip), which is critical for identifying concealed leaks.
- Versatile Construction Material Use: Excellent for restoration and inspection work, allowing for the moisture testing of insulation behind drywall and stucco, as well as the sub-surfaces of roofing materials.
- Optional Extended Lengths: Available in an alternative configuration (21-E/001) which accepts 6-inch pins for greater depth, and as the 21-ET model which features a tapped handle to attach an extension pole.

How does the 21-E measure moisture behind a wall?
It uses long, Teflon-insulated pins to penetrate the wall surface, with the meter taking a reading only at the uninsulated tips deep inside the wall cavity.
Why are the pins on this probe insulated?
The insulation ensures the meter’s reading is isolated to the deepest point, preventing misleading measurements from surface moisture or shallow material layers.
What is the standard pin penetration depth for the 21-E?
The standard pins provide a maximum penetration depth of 3 ¼inches for testing.
Are there options for deeper wall penetration?
Yes, a variant (21-E/001) is available that can accommodate pins up to 6 inches long for deeper exploratory work.
Which Delmhorst meters can use the 21-E probe?
The 21-E electrode is designed for compatibility with all Delmhorst pin-type resistance meters that have an external electrode jack.
