EVT290S Truss Systems Knowledge Center
EVT290S-5WT 5-Way T-Junction.
For F34 Square Truss Systems.
The EVT290S-5WT is a brushed-aluminum 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 full horizontal intersection requires a single vertical down connection in a visible stage, exhibit, lighting, AV, or display structure.
Product Facts
5-Way T-Junction Overview
A Five-Direction Junction for Horizontal Truss Intersections with a Down Connection.
The EVT290S-5WT is a fixed 5-way T-junction for compatible 290 mm square aluminum truss layouts. Front, Back, Left, and Right create a full horizontal intersection. Down adds a single vertical connection below that intersection. It is not a 4-way T-junction, a 4-way cross junction, a 3-way corner, or a universal junction block.
What Does a 5-Way T-Junction Connect?
A Horizontal Truss Intersection and One Vertical Down Run.
The EVT290S-5WT connects Front, Back, Left, Right, and Down truss directions. Front and Back form one continuous horizontal truss line. Left and Right form a second horizontal truss line. The Down direction connects a single vertical truss section below the horizontal intersection.
Where Is This T-Junction Used?
For Visible Horizontal Intersections with a Vertical Down Connection.
Use the EVT290S-5WT in compatible truss layouts where a full horizontal intersection must connect to a vertical truss section below. The brushed aluminum finish is suited to event, exhibit, stage, lighting, AV, and display environments where the natural aluminum truss appearance remains visible.
Why Choose Brushed Aluminum?
Choose a Finish That Keeps the Truss Visually Present.
Choose EVT290S-5WT brushed aluminum when the truss is intended to remain visible or must match existing natural-aluminum EVT290S components. The brushed finish supports a coordinated aluminum appearance in exhibit, stage, lighting, AV, display, and production environments.
Included Connection Hardware
Hardware for Two Connecting Sides Only.
Included connection hardware is supplied for two connecting sides of the EVT290S-5WT. 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 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 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 Frequently Asked Questions.
What does a 5-way T-junction connect?
The EVT290S-5WT connects Front, Back, Left, Right, and Down truss directions. It creates a full horizontal intersection with a single vertical connection below.
When should I choose brushed aluminum instead of matte black?
Choose brushed aluminum when the truss will remain visible or must match natural-aluminum EVT290S components. Choose matte black when the project calls for a darker truss appearance that visually recedes.
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.
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 connects Front, Back, Left, Right, and Down directions for a planned horizontal truss intersection with a vertical down connection. The brushed aluminum finish suits visible stage, exhibit, lighting, AV, and display structures.
