EVT290S-5WT Black 5-Way T-Junction.
For F34 Square Truss Systems.
The EVT290S-5WT Black is a matte-black fixed 5-way T-junction for compatible EVT290S, F34-format, and matching 290 mm square truss systems. It connects Front, Back, Left, Right, and Down truss directions where a horizontal truss intersection requires a single vertical down connection in a planned stage, lighting, AV, exhibit, broadcast, or display structure.
Product Facts
5-Way T-Junction Overview
A Fixed Junction for 290 mm Square Truss.
The EVT290S-5WT Black is a fixed 5-way T-junction for compatible 290 mm square aluminum truss layouts. It is not a 4-way T-junction, a 4-way cross junction, a 3-way corner, or a universal junction block. Select this component when the project drawing calls for its five specified truss directions.
What Does a 5-Way T-Junction Connect?
Four Horizontal Directions and One Down Connection.
The EVT290S-5WT Black connects Front, Back, Left, Right, and Down truss directions. Front, Back, Left, and Right form a full horizontal intersection. The Down direction adds a single vertical connection below that intersection. This configuration is used where a planned truss layout requires a horizontal grid or crossbar intersection with a vertical down connection.
Where Is This T-Junction Used?
For Horizontal Grid Intersections with a Vertical Down Connection.
Use the EVT290S-5WT Black in compatible truss layouts where a full horizontal intersection must connect to a vertical truss section below. The matte black finish is suited to dark or low-visibility environments where exposed truss should be visually subdued.
Why Choose Matte Black?
Choose a Finish That Lets the Production Elements Stand Out.
Choose EVT290S-5WT Black when the truss will be used against dark stage, theater, studio, broadcast, AV, or exhibit backgrounds. The matte black powder coat helps maintain a coordinated black-truss appearance and can reduce the visual prominence of exposed truss within the planned environment.
Included Connection Hardware
Hardware for Two Connecting Sides Only.
Included connection hardware is supplied for two connecting sides of the EVT290S-5WT Black. The 5-way configuration does not mean hardware is included for every available connection direction. Confirm the current product package, project drawing, and connection schedule for the exact supplied hardware and for any additional compatible hardware required.

What Must Match Before Connection?
Verify the Interface Before Combining Components.
The EVT290S-5WT Black is intended for compatible EVT290S, F34-format, and matching 290 mm square truss systems using conical connections. Matching profile size alone does not confirm compatibility. Verify receiver spacing, coupler dimensions, chord spacing, alignment, component condition, current manufacturer documentation, and applicable engineering information.
How Is the 5-Way T-Junction Connected?
Plan the Connection, Then Inspect Every Required Point.
Assembly should be completed by trained personnel using compatible components, the project drawing, the approved support or rigging plan, and sufficient hardware for every required connection. The supplied hardware covers two connecting sides only.
Safety and Engineering
A 5-Way T-Junction Is Not a Standalone Load or Span Rating.
The EVT290S-5WT Black does not independently establish a span, load, wind, suspension, or freestanding-structure rating. Determine suitability from the complete configuration, including connected components, spans, orientation, supports, connection hardware, bracing, rigging method, applied loads, lighting, AV equipment, displays, signage, base plates, ballast or anchorage, environmental conditions, venue requirements, and applicable approvals.
Product Questions
EVT290S-5WT Black Frequently Asked Questions.
What does a 5-way T-junction connect?
The EVT290S-5WT Black connects Front, Back, Left, Right, and Down truss directions. It creates a full horizontal intersection with a single vertical connection below.
How is a 5-way T-junction different from a 4-way T-junction?
The 5-way T-junction has Front, Back, Left, Right, and Down connections. A 4-way T-junction uses a different connection layout. Select the junction specified by the project drawing.
What hardware is included?
Included connection hardware is supplied for two connecting sides only. Confirm the current product package and connection schedule for exact contents and for any additional compatible hardware required.
Why choose matte black?
Choose matte black for compatible truss systems used against dark stage, theater, studio, broadcast, AV, or exhibit backgrounds where a darker finish is desired.
Can I connect it to any 290 mm square truss?
No. Profile size alone does not confirm compatibility. Verify receiver spacing, coupler dimensions, chord spacing, alignment, component condition, current manufacturer documentation, and applicable engineering information before mixing components.
Does this component establish system capacity?
No. Capacity depends on the complete configuration, including connected components, supports, rigging, hardware, loading, attachments, environmental conditions, venue requirements, and applicable approvals.
Connecting a Horizontal Truss Intersection to a Vertical Down Run?
The EVT290S-5WT Black connects Front, Back, Left, Right, and Down directions for a planned horizontal truss intersection with a vertical down connection. It is used in compatible concert, touring, broadcast, stage, lighting, AV, exhibit, and display systems.
