EVT290S-45DA 45-Degree Fixed-Angle Square Truss Corner.
A 290 mm Aluminum Truss Component Configured to Produce a Defined 45-Degree Structural Transition.
The EVT290S-45DA is a fixed-angle, 2-way aluminum truss corner configured to produce a 45-degree directional transition between compatible 290 mm square truss sections. The component can be integrated into angular perimeter layouts, sloped structures, trade show assemblies, motion capture frameworks, AI-related truss structures, and other modular configurations requiring a repeatable 45-degree change in geometry. Construction consists of EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum, 50 mm outside-diameter main chords with a 2 mm wall thickness, and 20 mm diagonal bracing with a 2 mm wall thickness. Mechanical connection is provided through a conical connection architecture.
Product Facts
Product Overview
Fixed 45-Degree Geometry for Defined Directional Transitions.
The primary function of the EVT290S-45DA is to modify the direction of a compatible truss run by a fixed value of 45 degrees. The geometry is physically defined by the component and does not require field adjustment. This produces a repeatable angular relationship between the two connected truss directions.
Common Applications
The 45-Degree Geometry Supports Angular Layouts, Slopes, and Directional Changes.
The component is applicable where a structural layout requires a defined angular transition greater than a shallow roof pitch but less than a conventional 90-degree corner. The 45-degree geometry can be used to create diagonal runs, polygonal layouts, sloped sections, and controlled changes in structural direction.
Who It’s For
Applicable to Professional Users Requiring a Fixed 45-Degree Truss Transition.
The component is intended for professional production, staging, fabrication, installation, integration, and structural workflows in which the required 45-degree geometry is defined before assembly.
Connection Hardware
Conical Couplers, Tapered Pins, and R-Clips.
The EVT290S-45DA uses a conical connection system. Mechanical continuity between the corner and adjoining compatible truss sections is produced through the installation of conical couplers, tapered pins, and retaining clips.
The mechanical connection should not be considered complete until the required couplers are seated, the tapered pins are fully inserted, and the corresponding R-clips are correctly installed.

System Compatibility
EVT290S, F34, and Compatible 290 mm Square Truss Systems.
Compatibility depends on more than the nominal 290 mm truss profile. A valid mechanical and structural interface requires corresponding receiver geometry, coupler dimensions, chord-center spacing, component orientation, connection architecture, and applicable structural design data.
A component that can be mechanically connected should not automatically be interpreted as structurally interchangeable. Connection geometry, material properties, chord configuration, system capacity, and applicable engineering documentation should be evaluated for the complete assembly.
Assembly Overview
Assembly Must Preserve the Defined 45-Degree Orientation.
Because the component contains fixed geometry, its installed orientation directly determines the direction of the resulting truss transition. Incorrect orientation can produce a structural layout that differs from the intended configuration even when the connection hardware is mechanically installed.
Safety & Engineering
Structural Capacity Is Determined by the Complete Truss Configuration.
The usable capacity of a 45-degree corner cannot be evaluated independently from the complete structure. Relevant variables include span, supports, connected truss sections, connection condition, orientation, load location, load direction, bracing, dynamic effects, environmental forces, and the geometry of the entire assembly.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EVT290S-45DA?
The EVT290S-45DA is a fixed-angle 2-way aluminum truss corner that creates a 45-degree directional transition between compatible 290 mm square truss sections.
Is the 45-degree angle adjustable?
No. The 45-degree relationship is determined by the physical geometry of the component and is not field adjustable.
What is the overall truss length?
The source lists an overall truss length of 0.5 m / 1.64 ft.
What is the overall truss width?
The nominal overall width is 290 mm / 11.41 in.
What is the listed component weight?
The listed weight is 24 lb / 10.88 kg.
What material is used?
The component is manufactured from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum alloy.
What are the main chord dimensions?
The main chords use 50 mm outside-diameter tubing with a 2 mm wall thickness.
What are the brace tubing dimensions?
The diagonal bracing uses 20 mm tubing with a 2 mm wall thickness.
What connection architecture is used?
The EVT290S-45DA uses a conical connection system with couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips.
What systems are listed as compatible?
The source identifies EVT290S, F34, and standard 290 mm square truss systems. Mechanical dimensions and structural requirements should be verified when combining components.
What is the functional difference between a 45-degree corner and a 90-degree corner?
A 90-degree corner changes the truss direction by one quarter-turn. The EVT290S-45DA changes direction by 45 degrees, allowing diagonal, polygonal, sloped, or intermediate-angle layouts that cannot be generated with a conventional 90-degree corner alone.
Does mechanical connection establish the allowable load capacity?
No. Mechanical connection establishes physical assembly only. Allowable structural capacity depends on the complete system geometry, supports, spans, loads, connections, materials, and applicable engineering data.
Need to define a 45-degree EVT290S truss configuration?
Provide the intended structure dimensions, span, support locations, required 45-degree transition, and associated truss configuration. Truss Genius can assist with component selection, compatibility review, system layout, matching truss sections, related corners, base plates, engineering coordination, and freight requirements.
