EVT290A-CS20 20 mm (0.79 in) Male Truss Coupler Spacer.
Adds 20 mm at One 290 mm Conical Truss Connection.
The EVT290A-CS20 is a double-ended male conical aluminum spacer that adds a fixed 20 mm (0.79 in) at one compatible 290 mm truss connection. Before installing, confirm the connection actually requires 20 mm and that the complete joint — including receiver spacing, conical coupler engagement, coupler-pin length, and retaining hardware — will still work with the spacer in place. It is not a truss section, an independent support point, or a direct load-attachment location.
Product Facts
What It Is
A Fixed 20 mm Spacer for One Specific Connection Condition.
The EVT290A-CS20 is a single-piece, double-ended male conical spacer with an integrated 20 mm collar. It is machined from Aluminum Alloy EN AW-6061 T6 with a brushed aluminum finish.
What It Changes
It Adds 20 mm to One Joint. The Entire Joint Must Still Work as a Joint.
The spacer adds 20 mm (0.79 in) at the selected connection. It does not independently establish a load rating, allowable span, pick-point location, or support arrangement for the modified structure.
Application Uses
Close a Larger Measured Gap at a Single Connection.
The EVT290A-CS20 is used wherever a 290 mm truss system comes up 20 mm short or long at a single connection point — a difference too large for the 10 mm spacer to address, but still a single-connection adjustment rather than a structural rework.
Selection Guidance
Select It Only for an Actual 20 mm Need. Do Not Treat It as Two 10 mm Decisions.
A 20 mm spacer modifies the connection as one component. Select it only when the truss system requires a 20 mm (0.79 in) addition at that connection, and the coupler, coupler-pins, retainers, and truss receivers are confirmed to work together as a complete joint.
What's Included
One Spacer. Retaining Hardware Sold Separately.
The EVT290A-CS20 ships as a single double-ended male conical spacer. It does not include coupler-pins or r-clips — these must be sourced separately and matched to the completed connection.

System Compatibility
EVT290S, F34, and Matching 290 mm Square Conical Truss Systems.
The EVT290A-CS20 is a double-ended male conical spacer for compatible 290 mm square truss connection points. Compatibility with other components requires matching receiver spacing, conical coupler dimensions, chord dimensions, coupler-pin length, retaining hardware, and engineering data for the completed structure.
Installation Conditions
Confirm the 20 mm Joint Before It Enters Service.
Installation requires a confirmed truss system requirement, serviceable parts, correct hardware, and a complete inspection before the connection is put into service.
Safety Limits and Review
A 20 mm Change Requires Complete Joint Confirmation.
The EVT290A-CS20 is a structural connection component. It does not establish a load rating for the modified structure. Do not exceed the capacity of the spacer or the truss system it modifies, and do not support loads directly from the spacer connection point.
Variant Relationship
The Dimension Comes First. The Finish Comes Second.
Choose the spacer whose fixed length matches what the connection requires. Select a black-finish version only when the same dimensional requirement also needs a black finish.
Product Questions
EVT290A-CS20 Frequently Asked Questions.
What does the CS20 do?
It adds 20 mm (0.79 in) at one compatible 290 mm conical truss connection.
Why must engagement be checked?
The 20 mm collar changes connection depth, so the complete joint must retain required coupler, receiver, coupler-pin, and retainer engagement.
Are coupler-pins included?
No. The spacer is supplied without coupler-pins or r-clips — these must be sourced separately.
Can I use two 10 mm spacers instead of one 20 mm spacer?
No. A 20 mm requirement calls for this single-piece spacer. Do not stack spacers or combine dimensions without engineering approval for the complete connection.
