EVT290S Truss Systems Knowledge Center
1.75 m Square Truss Straight Section.
For Theater Trussing, Scenic Builds, and Modular Structural Frameworks.
The EVT290S-175 is a brushed-aluminum 1.75 m / 5.74 ft straight section for compatible EVT290S, F34, and matching 290 mm square-truss systems. Use this member where theater trussing, a scenic build, a modular structural framework, a lighting grid, or another compatible layout calls for a 1.75 m straight run.
Identity and Core Facts
Straight Section Overview
1.75 m F34 Square Truss for Theater and Scenic Structures.
The EVT290S-175 is a 1.75 m straight member for compatible 290 mm square-truss systems. It is selected when a project needs an intermediate-length module between shorter straight sections and longer standard members. Use it for planned theater trussing, scenic support frames, lighting grids, modular structural frameworks, exhibit components, and other truss runs that require this length.
Length Selection
Why Choose a 5.74 ft Straight Truss Section?
A 1.75 m section is useful when the project drawing calls for an intermediate span between shorter straight sections and longer standard members. It can replace a combination of shorter sections where the completed layout calls for one 1.75 m straight run.
Brushed Aluminum Finish
A Standard Aluminum Look for Theater, Scenic, and Display Frameworks.
The EVT290S-175 has a brushed-aluminum finish that coordinates with standard aluminum truss systems used in theater, scenic construction, lighting, staging, exhibits, displays, and event production. Choose this finish when the truss is intended to be a visible part of the installation or when it needs to match existing brushed-aluminum components.
Theater and Scenic Infrastructure
Truss Components for Scenic and Modular Structural Frameworks.
The EVT290S-175 can be used within a project-specific compatible truss layout for theater, scenic, and modular structural frameworks. The straight section is one component of the completed design; it does not independently approve a scenic structure, loading condition, attachment point, or suspension method.
Applications
A 1.75 m Member for Theater, Scenic, and Modular Builds.
Use the EVT290S-175 wherever a compatible truss build calls for a 1.75 m / 5.74 ft 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-175 carries the core construction of the EVT290S series in a 1.75 m 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-175.
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-175 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-175 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 39.4 ft / 12 m. The tables address the completed truss configuration—not an individual EVT290S-175 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 5.74 ft / 1.75 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, scenery, lighting equipment, and environmental exposure. Use applicable manufacturer load tables and engineering information for the system being built.
Frequently Asked Questions
EVT290S-175 Questions.
Why choose a 5.74 ft / 1.75 m straight truss section?
Choose this section when a compatible 290 mm square-truss design calls for a 1.75 m member. It provides an intermediate-length option between shorter straight sections and longer standard modules.
Can this truss be used for theater and scenic structures?
It can be used as part of a project-specific compatible truss layout for theater lighting, scenic frames, portals, headers, and modular structural frameworks. Confirm scenery loads, lighting loads, attachment locations, support conditions, rigging method, and the complete system design before use.
What finish does the EVT290S-175 have?
The EVT290S-175 has a brushed aluminum finish that coordinates with standard EVT290S and F34-style truss components.
What conical connection hardware is included?
Each EVT290S-175 section includes 4 conical couplers, 8 coupler pins, and 8 r-clips for compatible conical connections.
