EVT290S 60-Degree Corner Knowledge Center
EVT290S-60DA 60-Degree Fixed-Angle Square Truss Corner.
A 290 mm Aluminum Corner Designed for Hexagonal Structures, Geometric Layouts, and Defined 60-Degree Directional Changes.
The EVT290S-60DA is a fixed 60-degree, 2-way aluminum truss corner for compatible 290 mm square truss assemblies. Its geometry creates a precise directional change between two connected truss runs and is especially useful when building hexagonal structures, multi-bay geometric layouts, trade show frameworks, motion capture environments, AI-related truss systems, and other modular designs that require something other than a conventional 90-degree corner. The component is manufactured from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum using 50 mm main chords and 20 mm diagonal bracing, with a conical connection system for modular assembly.
Product Facts
Product Overview
A 60-Degree Corner for Hexagonal and Geometric Truss Layouts.
The EVT290S-60DA changes the direction of a compatible truss run by a fixed 60 degrees. This angle is particularly useful because repeated 60-degree transitions can form hexagonal and other geometric structures while maintaining consistent modular connection geometry.
Common Applications
Use 60-Degree Geometry to Build Shapes That Standard 90-Degree Corners Cannot Produce.
The defining feature of this corner is not simply that it changes direction. Its value is the specific 60-degree relationship, which makes it practical for hexagonal structures, geometric exhibit layouts, custom technical frameworks, and other non-orthogonal designs.
Who It’s For
For Professionals Designing Beyond Rectangular Truss Structures.
The EVT290S-60DA is most useful when the desired structure includes hexagonal, polygonal, angled, or repeating geometric elements rather than only straight runs and 90-degree corners.
Connection Hardware
Conical Couplers, Tapered Pins, and R-Clips.
The EVT290S-60DA uses the conical connection method found throughout compatible EVT290S-style assemblies. The connection hardware mechanically joins the corner receivers to adjoining truss sections.
Verify that all required couplers are fully seated, tapered pins are correctly installed, and R-clips are secured before lifting, loading, or placing the structure into service.

System Compatibility
EVT290S, F34, and Compatible 290 mm Square Truss Systems.
The EVT290S-60DA is built around a nominal 290 mm square profile with 50 mm main chords and a conical connection system. Compatibility should be evaluated using the actual receiver geometry, coupler dimensions, chord-center spacing, and structural data rather than nominal truss width alone.
A physical connection may be possible without the components having identical engineering properties. Verify connector geometry, chord spacing, material, load data, and the requirements of the complete structure before combining components from different manufacturers or systems.
Assembly Overview
Orient the 60-Degree Corner According to the Intended Geometry Before Connecting the Structure.
A fixed-angle corner determines the direction of every truss section connected after it. Confirming orientation before assembly is particularly important in hexagonal and repeating geometric layouts because a single reversed or incorrectly positioned corner can change the shape of the entire structure.
Safety & Engineering
The 60-Degree Corner Must Be Evaluated as Part of the Complete Structure.
A corner does not operate independently from the truss connected to it. Structural performance depends on the complete geometry, span lengths, supports, bracing, connection condition, load locations, load directions, dynamic forces, and environmental conditions.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EVT290S-60DA?
The EVT290S-60DA is a fixed 60-degree 2-way aluminum corner for compatible 290 mm square truss structures.
Why is a 60-degree truss corner useful?
A 60-degree corner allows a structure to change direction at an angle that is particularly useful for hexagonal, polygonal, multi-bay, and other geometric layouts that cannot be created efficiently with 90-degree corners alone.
Can the EVT290S-60DA be used to build a hexagon?
Yes. A six-sided layout uses 60-degree directional relationships, making this corner suitable for hexagonal truss structures when the complete configuration is properly designed.
Is the 60-degree angle adjustable?
No. The angle is fixed by the physical construction of the corner.
What is the overall length?
The listed overall truss length is 0.5 m / 1.64 ft.
What is the overall width?
The listed truss width is 290 mm / 11.41 in.
How much does the corner weigh?
The listed weight is 24 lb / 10.88 kg.
What aluminum alloy is used?
The product 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 dimensions?
The diagonal bracing uses 20 mm tubing with a 2 mm wall thickness.
What connection system is used?
The EVT290S-60DA uses a conical connection system with couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips.
What truss systems are listed as compatible?
The source identifies EVT290S, F34, and standard 290 mm square truss systems. Compatibility should still be verified using the actual connector dimensions and structural requirements of the complete assembly.
Can the 60-degree corner be used in outdoor structures?
Yes, when incorporated into a properly engineered outdoor truss configuration. The angle can be used as part of sloped geometry, but weather resistance, drainage, wind loading, and structural capacity depend on the complete system.
