EVT290A-REP Aluminum Round Truss End Cap
The EVT290A-REP is a decorative aluminum end cap designed to give exposed 290mm truss chord receivers a smooth, finished appearance. Its rounded dome profile replaces the industrial look of an open connection with a clean architectural detail suitable for trade shows, event displays, vertical truss totems, retail installations, and other visible truss structures.
An integrated male conical connector inserts into a compatible truss receiver and is secured using the included coupler pin and safety clip. The removable design allows the end cap to be installed without drilling, welding, or permanently altering the truss section.

Professional Dome Finish
The rounded end cap creates a cleaner presentation where the end of a truss chord remains exposed. Its semi-spherical profile complements the shape of the main chord and gives temporary or permanent displays a more complete appearance than an uncovered receiver.
Common applications include:
- Vertical truss totems and display towers
- Trade show entrances and booth structures
- Retail and showroom displays
- Architectural truss installations
- Exposed truss columns and uprights
- Branded event structures
- Decorative stage and production layouts
Installation
The EVT290A-REP attaches to a compatible truss receiver using a male conical connector, coupler pin, and safety clip.
- Inspect the end cap, connector stem, coupler pin, safety clip, and receiving truss connection.
- Remove dirt or debris from the truss receiver.
- Insert the male conical connector completely into the receiver.
- Align the connector holes and install the coupler pin.
- Secure the pin using the supplied safety clip.
- Confirm that the cap is fully seated and securely retained before the structure is raised or placed into service.
Compatibility Information
The EVT290A-REP is designed for compatible EVT290S and 290mm square truss receivers that use the corresponding conical connector geometry.
Although some 290mm truss systems are commonly described as F34-style, fit should not be assumed based only on the nominal truss size. Different manufacturers may use variations in connector taper, receiver depth, pin-hole alignment, and hardware dimensions.
Before combining the cap with another truss brand, verify:
- Conical connector diameter and taper
- Receiver depth
- Coupler pin diameter
- Pin-hole location and alignment
- Clearance around the truss chord and bracing
Contact Truss Genius with the truss manufacturer, model number, or connector measurements for assistance confirming fit.
Practical Benefits
- Finished appearance: Covers an exposed truss receiver with a smooth aluminum dome.
- Reduced snagging: Helps reduce contact with exposed connection edges that could catch fabric, cables, or clothing.
- Receiver coverage: Helps limit dust and loose debris from entering the open receiver during display use.
- Removable installation: Can be removed whenever the receiver is needed for another compatible component.
- Included hardware: Supplied with the coupler pin and safety clip required for installation.
Quantity and Ordering Information
The EVT290A-REP is sold as one individual end cap. A standard square truss section has four main chords, so up to four caps may be needed to finish one exposed end of the truss.
Count each exposed chord receiver in the intended structure before ordering. Caps may also be used selectively when only one or two receivers are visible.
Safety and Use Limitations
The EVT290A-REP is a decorative, non-structural accessory. It is not designed, tested, or rated as a lifting, suspension, anchoring, rigging, or load-bearing attachment point.
- Do not attach lighting fixtures, signs, speakers, cables, safety devices, or other loads to the end cap.
- Do not use the cap as a lifting handle or tie-off point.
- Do not suspend personnel, equipment, or secondary structures from the cap.
- Do not drill, weld, grind, bend, or otherwise modify the cap or connector stem.
- Do not install the cap if the connector, pin hole, coupler pin, or safety clip is damaged or excessively worn.
- Always insert the coupler pin completely and secure it with the appropriate safety clip.
- For elevated installations, confirm that the cap is properly retained before raising the truss structure.
Engineering notice: This accessory does not approve or authorize a specific truss installation. A qualified professional should evaluate the complete structure, loading, attachment methods, environmental conditions, and intended use whenever engineering review is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EVT290A-REP load bearing?
No. The EVT290A-REP is a decorative end cap only. It must not be used to lift, support, suspend, anchor, or attach any load.
How many end caps are included?
One EVT290A-REP end cap is included per unit ordered. A square truss section may require up to four caps to cover every exposed chord receiver on one end.
Does it fit every F34 or 290mm truss system?
No universal compatibility should be assumed. Systems with similar outside dimensions may use different connector tapers, receiver depths, pin positions, and hardware sizes.
Can the cap be removed later?
Yes. The end cap is secured using a removable coupler pin and safety clip. It can be removed whenever the receiver is needed for another compatible truss component.
Can a light or sign be attached to the dome?
No. Lights, signs, cables, and other accessories must be attached to an approved structural truss component using correctly sized and properly rated hardware.
Need Help Confirming Fit?
Contact Truss Genius with the truss manufacturer, product model, connector measurements, or clear photos of the receiving connection. Our team can help evaluate compatibility and determine the number of EVT290A-REP end caps needed for your display.
