Question 1

Does this product have a warranty? I just noticed i couldn't find anywhere where it mentions it.

Accepted Answer

Although the Wagner Meters commitment to customer satisfaction dates back to its inception (the 1960s), the dawn of 2012 brought in a new era. Wagner Meters now offers a standard seven-year warranty policy on all Orion meters as well as the MMC and MMI moisture meters. Effective since January 1, 2012, Wagner Meters has implemented extended warranty protection on these models to ensure that woodworkers, manufacturers, installers, and inspectors can measure and monitor their wood products moisture content (MC) with renewed confidence.

Question 2

What is the best meter for log home restoration?

Accepted Answer

For measuring the moisture in wood that has fairly smooth, flat surfaces at least 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches, one of Wagner’s non-pin Orion-model moisture meters would be fine.
If you have rough, rounded surfaces, you may need to use a pin-type moisture meter with longer pins with insulated shafts on a slide hammer cabled to the actual meter.

Question 3

Lvt cannot contain moisture, but do you have a meter that can measure the amount of moisture under the lvt?

Accepted Answer

unk I use mine for wood.

Question 4

Can you recommend a meter that can accurately read from 5/8" to 6" treated pine material.  We are in the process of staining large amounts of lumber.

Accepted Answer

First, regardless of the meter utilized, in general a meter’s accuracy is somewhat affected by the type and amount of treatment in the wood.  Next, the Orion model 930 is well-suited for measuring wood with thicknesses up to 2”.  IF there is very little moisture gradient in the thicker pine (3” and above) the depth of readings with the 930 will also represent the overall moisture content of the thicker pieces. To best answer these type of technical questions, we highly recommend you call Wagner Meters so their experts can help with your individual situation.  Ron Smith - Wagner Meters
