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.

5.74 ft Straight Section
Use this section where the drawing calls for a 1.75 m member between compatible truss connection points.
Intermediate-Length Module
The 1.75 m length fills planned runs between shorter fillers and longer standard members without adding unnecessary intermediate joints.
Brushed Aluminum Finish
The brushed-aluminum surface coordinates with standard EVT290S and F34-style truss components in theater, scenic, exhibit, and event-production environments.

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.

Add a 1.75 m Run
Use the 5.74 ft section when the drawing calls for a 1.75 m addition to a theater grid, scenic frame, portal, lighting position, exhibit display, perimeter, or support structure.
Plan Around the Drawing
Select the straight-section length called for in the project drawing, then confirm corners, bases, supports, accessories, and connection hardware for the complete build.
Combine System Components
Pair this member with compatible EVT290S straight sections, corners, base plates, and other components required for the planned structure.

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 Installations
Coordinate with standard aluminum truss components in front-of-house positions, lighting grids, side-light structures, scenic support frames, and temporary performance systems.
Scenic Fabrication
Use in planned scenic portals, reveal structures, headers, overhead scenic frames, scenic walls, and modular support frameworks.
Lighting and Staging
Coordinate with standard aluminum truss components in lighting grids, goalposts, stage architecture, and production support structures.
Rental Inventory
Brushed aluminum aligns with the common appearance of standard 290 mm square-truss inventory used across theatrical, scenic, event, and production applications.

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.

Theater Lighting Positions
Use within planned lighting grids, front-of-house truss, side-light positions, overhead lighting structures, and production support frames.
Scenic Support Frames
Use within reviewed scenic frames, portals, headers, reveal structures, scenic walls, and other planned theatrical support structures.
Modular Structural Frameworks
Combine compatible straight sections, corners, bases, and connection hardware to create the structural geometry called for by the project drawing.
Project-Specific Planning
Confirm the complete layout, support conditions, attachment locations, scenery loads, lighting loads, rigging method, access, and required engineering review before use.

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.

Theater Trussing
Use within planned lighting grids, front-of-house truss, side-light positions, scenic support frames, and temporary performance structures.
Scenic Builds
Build reviewed scenic portals, headers, scenic walls, reveal structures, overhead scenic frames, and support systems around the required truss run.
Modular Structural Frameworks
Use in planned modular frames, goalposts, display structures, event architecture, exhibit components, and other compatible 290 mm truss assemblies.
Lighting and Staging
Add a 1.75 m section to a planned lighting grid, stage frame, perimeter, or production support structure where the drawing calls for this length.

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.

290 mm Square Profile
The 290 x 290 mm profile is designed for compatible square-truss components with matching receiver spacing and connection interfaces.
50 mm Main Chords
Main chords measure 50 mm outside diameter with 2 mm wall thickness and provide the primary connection and accessory-attachment tubing.
20 mm Diagonal Braces
Diagonal braces measure 20 mm outside diameter with 2 mm wall thickness.
Conical Connection System
Conical couplers, coupler pins, and r-clips create the mechanical interface between compatible truss sections.

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.

4 Conical Couplers
Couplers create the mechanical connection between the section and compatible receiver ends.
8 Coupler Pins
Pins secure the couplers after the mating components have been aligned and fully seated.
8 R-Clips
R-clips retain each fully seated coupler pin and must be installed before the structure is moved or loaded.

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.

Receiver Spacing
All four receiver positions should align without pulling, spreading, or forcing the truss faces together.
Coupler Seating
Use couplers that match the receiver interface of both connected components and verify even seating before installing pins.
1.96 in / 50 mm Clamp Fit
The 1.96 in / 50 mm OD main chords accept compatible clamps for approved equipment and accessory attachment.
Mixed Components
When components come from different sources, confirm physical fit and applicable engineering information before using them together.

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.

Matching Truss Components
Add compatible straight sections, corners, base plates, and connection hardware to complete the required truss layout.
1.96 in / 50 mm Clamps
Use compatible clamps for approved lighting, scenery, equipment, and accessory attachment to the main chords.
Rigging and Retention
Select truss picks, slings, shackles, and safety cables from their individual product data and the requirements of the complete rigging plan.
Ground-Support Components
Select base plates, ballast, and related support components according to the completed structure and its reviewed requirements.

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.

01 — Inspect Components
Inspect the section, receiver ends, couplers, pins, and r-clips. Do not use bent, cracked, worn, or damaged components.
02 — Insert Couplers
Place the four conical couplers into the receiver positions and confirm that they sit correctly.
03 — Align the Truss Faces
Bring the mating component into position evenly. The truss faces should close without excessive force.
04 — Pin and Retain
After alignment is confirmed, install every coupler pin fully and fit an r-clip to every pin before moving, lifting, rigging, or loading the structure.
If a Connection Does Not Close
Stop assembly. Check receiver spacing, coupler fit, damage, debris, and alignment. Do not force the truss, modify components, or drive a pin against resistance. Resolve the cause before the structure is moved or loaded.

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.

Published Load Cases
Reference tables identify uniformly distributed loads, center-point loads, third-point loads, and quarter-point loads for applicable simply supported F34 truss spans.
Panel-Point Loading
Attach loads only at approved truss panel points. Do not assume that an arbitrary position along a chord is an approved load-attachment point.
Loads Are Not Additive
Published load cases are alternatives, not values to combine. Evaluate the actual span, support condition, load location, and load type using applicable engineering information.
Engineer Review Required
The engineering reference is general guidance only. Each finished truss structure, theater layout, scenic support structure, lighting plot, and use must be reviewed as required for the specific project by a licensed professional engineer.

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.

Do not load an unverified connection point or treat one section as proof of capacity for the larger structure.
Attach loads only at approved truss panel points. Do not assume that an arbitrary position along a chord is an approved loading location.
Published load cases are not additive. Evaluate the actual span, support condition, load location, and load type using applicable engineering information for the completed truss run.
Do not use bridles unless they have been approved in writing by a licensed structural engineer. Dynamic or shock loads require separate consideration.
Inspect every coupler, pin, r-clip, clamp, scenery mount, sling, shackle, safety cable, and attachment point before use. Replace damaged, worn, or improperly fitting parts.
Use trained personnel and obtain the project review required for suspended, public-facing, outdoor, load-bearing, theatrical, scenic, or otherwise regulated truss systems.
Documentation and Project Review
Product specifications, included hardware, compatibility information, and availability are subject to change without notice. Verify current product drawings, manufacturer instructions, connection hardware, and applicable engineering information before ordering, assembling, or using this product. This page does not approve a particular truss layout, span, loading condition, theater layout, scenic support structure, rigging plan, support arrangement, outdoor installation, or public-facing structure. For suspended, load-bearing, public-facing, outdoor, theatrical, scenic, or otherwise regulated truss systems, obtain the project-specific review required by the applicable authority and a licensed structural engineer.
