Product Description

EVT12S-6IN | 6-Inch Aluminum Truss Spacer (12×12 Box Truss Plated)

The EVT12S-6IN Aluminum Truss Spacer is a 6-inch structural component designed for 12-inch square end-plated aluminum truss systems. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, this spacer adds a precise half-foot extension to any truss run — the critical increment that shorter 4-inch and 5-inch spacers cannot reach. For touring crews loading in at a different venue every night, LED teams centering a panel array to the last inch, and AV companies fitting rigs into non-standard ballroom dimensions, the 6-inch is the most called-for mid-range spacer in the EVT12S family. It delivers exact linear control without adding a full-length section, keeping truck pack weight low and load math clean.

Function & Compatibility:

The EVT12S is an end-plated bolt truss system, distinct from conical coupler designs. The 6-inch spacer carries the same square profile and bolt hole layout as every full-length EVT12S section — it bolts directly into the run as a native component, not an aftermarket add-on. At half a foot, it covers the dimensional gap that production teams encounter most frequently — the increment that keeps spans flush, load points centered, and grid geometry tight across touring rigs, permanent installations, LED wall builds, and corporate staging environments.

Key Features

• Precise Half-Foot Extension: Adds exactly 6 inches to the truss run — the most frequently used mid-range spacer length for closing dimensional gaps that shorter spacers cannot cover on their own.
• Included Hardware: Shipped with 4x Grade 8 Bolts, Nuts, and Washers — no additional hardware purchase or sourcing required, ready for high-strength assembly on arrival.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from 6061-T6 aluminum — adds dimensional precision to the span without meaningful weight to the truck pack.
• End-Plated Design: Native EVT12S bolt pattern and plate geometry, compatible with other standard 12-inch plated truss systems that share the same connection format.
• TÜV Specifications: Fabricated to TÜV-certified standards, ensuring the spacer meets the same engineering requirements as the full-length truss sections in the system.
• Professional Finish: Clean aluminum surface integrates seamlessly with standard silver trussing.

Who It’s For

• Touring & Concert Production Crews — You’re building grids that have to fit exact venue dimensions night after night, and the room changes at every stop. The 6-inch spacer extends the run by half a foot without adding a full section, keeping truck pack weight down while maintaining precise span alignment across the entire tour routing.
• LED Wall & Video Installation Teams — Your video wall build demands panel-perfect alignment. The 6-inch spacer pushes the support structure outward by exactly the margin needed to center a panel array, avoid mullion shadows, or clear a camera sightline — adjustments that 4-inch and 5-inch spacers fall short on.
• Corporate Event & AV Staging Companies — Ballrooms and convention centers rarely have standard dimensions, and you’re building custom spans to fit non-standard room widths on fast-turnaround corporate gigs. The 6-inch spacer gives you a clean structural shim that avoids cutting or over-spanning, keeping the load math simple and setup times short.
• Rental Houses & Inventory Managers — You maintain a graduated stock of spacer lengths from 4 inches through 24 inches so your crew can fill any gap dimension on a pull sheet. The 6-inch is the most called-for mid-range spacer in the kit and keeps cross-rental substitutions to a minimum.
• Lighting Grid Designers & Integrators — Your overhead grid has to land on fixed rigging points, and the total run needs to hit those pick points exactly. The 6-inch spacer covers the half-foot adjustment that the smaller spacers can’t reach, keeping the grid aligned to the building steel without re-engineering the hang.
• Rigging & Structural Engineers — The engineered drawing calls for a specific linear dimension and there is no tolerance for approximation. TÜV-standard fabrication and Grade 8 bolt hardware mean this spacer carries the same engineering credibility as every other component in the spec.

Designed by Evolve Truss, the EVT12S-6IN is the half-foot workhorse in the spacer lineup — the most versatile mid-range extension for professional production environments.

⚠️ Safety & Engineering Notice

❗ Structural Warning: Adding a spacer to a truss run does NOT increase the overall load capacity of the span. The allowable load is determined by the total span length and the weakest component. Do not support loads directly from the spacer connection points.

Important Guidelines for Safe Use:

• Inspect the end plates and bolt holes for deformation or wear before every use.
• Ensure all Grade 8 bolts are properly torqued to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not mix truss components from different manufacturers unless the bolt pattern and plate dimensions have been strictly verified.
• The purchase of this product does not authorize specific installations; a licensed professional engineer shall review all structures, lighting plots, or other aluminum truss uses.

⚠️ Compatibility Warning for Mixed-Brand Builds

Crucial Steps for Safe Assembly:

• Verify Bolt Patterns: Plated truss varies by manufacturer. Compare your existing truss plate dimensions against EVT12S specifications before purchase.
• Check Alignment: Ensure chord alignment is precise to prevent uneven loading on the bolts.
• Mixing incompatible plated truss can lead to structural failure.
