EVT290A-CS40 40 mm (1.57 in) Male Truss Coupler Spacer.
Adds 40 mm to One 290 mm Conical Truss Connection.
The EVT290A-CS40 is a double-ended male conical aluminum spacer that adds a fixed 40 mm (1.57 in) at one compatible 290 mm truss connection. Before installing, confirm the connection actually requires 40 mm and that the complete joint — including truss receivers, conical hardware, 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 40 mm Coupler Spacer for One Specific Connection Condition.
The EVT290A-CS40 is a single-piece, double-ended male conical spacer with an integrated 40 mm collar. It is machined from Aluminum Alloy EN AW-6061 T6 with a brushed aluminum finish that matches standard aluminum truss systems.
What It Changes
It Adds 40 mm to One Joint. It Does Not Create a New Load Point.
The spacer adds 40 mm (1.57 in) at the selected, compatible joint. It does not independently establish allowable span, load capacity, pick-point location, or support arrangement.
Application Uses
Close a Larger Measured Gap at a Single Connection.
The EVT290A-CS40 is used wherever a 290 mm truss system comes up 40 mm short or long at a single connection point — a difference too large for the 10, 20, or 30 mm spacers, but still a single-connection adjustment rather than a structural rework.
Selection Guidance
Select the CS40 When the Truss System Requires a 40 mm Addition.
Use the EVT290A-CS40 when the connection requires a fixed 40 mm (1.57 in) addition at one compatible 290 mm conical truss joint. Do not use it as an adjustable fitting, a generic extension, a repair for damaged truss, or a substitute for a different measured requirement.
What's Included
One Spacer. Retaining Hardware Sold Separately.
The EVT290A-CS40 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 Compatible 290 mm Square Conical Truss Systems.
The EVT290A-CS40 is designed for compatible 290 mm square conical truss connection points, including EVT290S and F34-style systems. Confirm the actual receiver spacing, conical coupler dimensions, chord dimensions, coupler-pin length, retaining hardware, and complete structural plan before combining separately sourced components or lifting the completed structure.
Installation Checks
Confirm the 40 mm Requirement. Then Confirm the Entire Connection.
The spacer changes the effective length and connection depth at one joint. Install it only after confirming the required 40 mm addition, inspecting the components, test-fitting the connection, and confirming coupler engagement, coupler-pins, retention hardware, and the complete structural plan.
Safety and Engineering
The Spacer Changes One Connection. It Does Not Override System Limits.
The EVT290A-CS40 is a structural connection component. It does not independently 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
Start With the Gap You Measured. Then Choose the Matching Spacer.
Spacer length and finish must match what the connection requires. Do not stack, substitute, or combine variants unless the exact arrangement is approved for the complete structure.
Product Questions
EVT290A-CS40 Frequently Asked Questions.
What does the EVT290A-CS40 do?
It adds a fixed 40 mm (1.57 in) at one compatible 290 mm square conical truss connection.
Are coupler-pins included?
No. The product includes the 40 mm spacer coupler only — coupler-pins and r-clips are not included and must be sourced separately.
Can it be used as a load point?
No. Do not attach or support loads directly from the spacer connection point. The complete structure must be evaluated for the actual installation.
Can I combine this spacer with other spacers?
Do not stack or combine spacers unless the exact arrangement has been approved for the complete structure. A combined arrangement changes connection depth and requires review.
