EVT290S Truss Systems Knowledge Center
0.5 m Square Aluminum Truss for Short Runs and Layout Adjustments.
A Half-Meter Straight Section for Stage, Display, Lighting, and Production Builds.
The EVT290S-050 is a 0.5 m / 1.64 ft straight section for compatible EVT290S, F34, and matching 290 mm square-truss systems. Use it when a truss layout calls for a half-meter section to complete a run, finish a frame, set an opening, or adjust the length of a stage, exhibit, lighting, or display build.
Identity and Core Facts
Straight Section Overview
A Short Straight Section for the EVT290S Truss System.
The EVT290S-050 is a half-meter straight member for completing short sections of a compatible 290 mm square-truss build. It is selected when a planned structure needs a shorter section than a standard 1 m or longer piece can provide—such as closing a frame, finishing a perimeter, setting an opening, or adjusting a stage, exhibit, lighting, or display run.
Length Selection
Why Choose a 0.5 m Straight Section?
A half-meter section gives a build team another option when fitting the overall truss run. Use it with longer EVT290S sections when the planned layout calls for a short addition rather than a full-meter section.
Applications
A Short Straight Member for Production and Display Builds.
Use the EVT290S-050 wherever a compatible truss build calls for a half-meter section. The completed structure determines the required supports, rigging method, loads, and accessories.
Series Construction
290 mm Square Truss with Conical Coupler Connections.
The EVT290S-050 carries the core construction of the EVT290S series in a half-meter straight section: a 290 x 290 mm square profile, 50 mm main chords, 20 mm diagonal braces, EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum, brushed-aluminum finish, and conical end connections.
Included Connection Hardware
What Ships with the EVT290S-050.
Each straight section ships with the connection hardware used to join it to compatible conical-receiver components. Confirm the project component schedule before assembly; a finished structure may also require longer sections, corners, base plates, clamps, ballast, rigging hardware, and other project-specific items.

System Compatibility
Match the Truss Profile and Connection Before You Build.
The EVT290S-050 is intended for compatible EVT290S, F34, and matching 290 mm square-truss systems using conical connections. Similar appearance alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm the receiver spacing, coupler fit, chord spacing, alignment, and applicable system documentation before assembly.
Related System Components
Add the Accessories Required by Your Configuration.
The EVT290S-050 fits within a broader 290 mm truss system. Related components should be selected separately according to the planned structure and approved application; their product pages carry their own fit, use, and working-load information where applicable.
Connection and Inspection
Confirm Fit First. Then Seat, Pin, and Retain.
Once receiver spacing and compatible hardware are confirmed, assemble the connection in this order. Prepare the current project drawing, compatible mating components, supplied connection hardware, and approved support or rigging plan. Assemble on a stable work surface with access to inspect every receiver and pin location.
Engineering Reference
F34 Load-Span Information Applies to the Completed Truss Run.
Compatible F34 load-span tables are available as a general reference for simply supported truss runs up to 12 m / 39.4 ft. The tables address the completed truss configuration—not an individual EVT290S-050 straight section—and should be used only with the applicable engineering notes, connection requirements, and project review.
System Responsibility
Capacity Comes from the Completed Configuration.
This 0.5 m section does not establish an independent span or load rating for a finished structure. Determine capacity from the complete arrangement, including connected components, span, orientation, supports, attachment locations, rigging method, applied loads, and environmental exposure. Use applicable manufacturer load tables and engineering information for the system being built.
Frequently Asked Questions
EVT290S-050 Questions.
Why choose a 0.5 m straight truss section?
Choose a 0.5 m section when a compatible 290 mm square-truss layout needs a short addition to finish a run, close a perimeter, set an opening, or complete a planned build.
What conical connection hardware is included?
Each EVT290S-050 section includes 4 conical couplers, 8 coupler pins, and 8 r-clips for compatible conical connections.
Can EVT290S-050 be connected to F34 truss?
Use it with F34 or other 290 mm systems only when receiver spacing, conical coupler fit, chord spacing, connection interface, and applicable engineering information are confirmed.
Can compatible 50 mm clamps and other EVT290S accessories be used with this section?
The 50 mm OD main chords accept compatible 50 mm / 1.96 in clamps for approved attachments. Select clamps, rigging accessories, and support components according to their individual product information and the requirements of the complete configuration.
