Product Description

EVT12S-8IN Black | 8-Inch Aluminum Truss Spacer (12×12 Box Truss Plated) – Matte Black

The EVT12S-8IN Black Aluminum Truss Spacer is a precision-manufactured 8-inch structural spacer designed specifically for 12-inch square end-plated aluminum truss systems. Finished in a durable matte black powder coat, this component provides controlled spacing between truss sections, allowing riggers to achieve exact linear dimensions while maintaining a discreet, non-reflective appearance in professional stage environments.

Function & Compatibility:

Unlike conical systems, the EVT12S series utilizes an industry-standard nut-and-bolt end-plate connection. This spacer features a rigid square profile that matches the geometry of standard 12″ box truss, ensuring a seamless structural transition. It is the ideal solution for fine-tuning truss lengths in touring rigs, lighting grids, and trade show displays where a consistent black-out aesthetic is required.

Key Features

• Precise Extension: Adds exactly 8 inches to the truss run.
• Professional Black Finish: High-quality matte black powder coat eliminates glare and blends seamlessly into dark backgrounds.
• Included Hardware: Ships complete with 4x Grade 8 Bolts, Nuts, and Washers (Black finish hardware may vary, standard zinc/galv typically supplied unless specified) for immediate assembly.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Fabricated from 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy for superior strength-to-weight ratio.
• End-Plated Design: Compatible with EVT12S and other standard 12-inch plated truss systems using bolt connections.
• TÜV Specifications: Fabricated in accordance with strict TUV manufacturing standards.

Designed by Evolve Truss, the EVT12S-8IN Black delivers the reliability and structural consistency demanded by 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.
• Handle with care to prevent chipping the powder coat finish.
• 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.
