EVT290S-Hinge 0–180-Degree Rotatable 2-Way Truss Hinge.
An Adjustable 290 mm Aluminum Pivot Component for Specified Connection Angles and Custom Truss-System Configurations.

The EVT290S-Hinge is a 2-way adjustable pivot component for compatible 290 mm square aluminum truss systems. Unlike a fixed-angle corner, the hinge allows the selected connection angle and component orientation between two connected truss sections to be adjusted through a nominal range of 0 to 180 degrees. It is manufactured from EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum and uses 50 mm main tubing with a 3 mm wall thickness together with 20 mm diagonal bracing with a 2 mm wall thickness.

Product Overview

An Adjustable Connection Angle Instead of a Single Fixed Angle.

The primary functional difference between the EVT290S-Hinge and a conventional truss corner is adjustability. A fixed-angle component defines one relationship between connected truss sections. The hinge allows the selected connection angle and component orientation to vary within its stated 0 to 180-degree range, giving the approved truss system an adjustable connection where a fixed corner would not match the specified requirements.

0–180-Degree Adjustment

The pivot assembly allows the selected connection angle between the two truss connections to be adjusted rather than permanently fixed.

2-Way Pivot Connection

The component connects two truss directions through a central pivoting assembly.

Adjustable Connection Angle

One component can support multiple specified connection angles where the selected position depends on the approved truss system.

Heavy-Duty Main Tubing

The assembly uses 50 mm outside-diameter aluminum main tubing with a 3 mm wall thickness.

Common Applications

Adjustable Connections for Specified Truss-System Configurations.

The EVT290S-Hinge is most useful when the required connection angle is variable, site-dependent, non-standard, or intentionally adjusted during the planning or assembly process. Select the hinge only where the complete approved truss system accounts for its selected angle, supports, spans, loads, bracing, connection hardware, and intended use.

Custom Truss-System Configurations

Create truss transitions at specified angles that are not available as standard fixed-angle corner components.

Adjustable Connections During Setup

Use where connected truss sections must be set to the selected position during the controlled assembly process.

Trade Show Booths

Support custom booth structures, crowns, and exhibit systems that must adapt to different footprints, subject to complete truss-system review.

Stage and Scenic Structures

Create application-specific truss transitions where a standard fixed-angle corner does not meet the specified connection-angle requirement.

Motion Capture Systems

Set perimeter or support positions around specialized capture spaces, cameras, sensors, and tracking equipment as specified by the complete truss system.

Modular Installations

Use adjustable connection angles in truss systems that require different specified configurations between installations.

Who It’s For

For Professionals Who Need More Connection-Angle Control Than a Fixed Corner Can Provide.

The EVT290S-Hinge is intended for professional applications where the desired connection angle is not known until system design, where multiple specified angle positions are required, or where a fixed-angle corner would unnecessarily restrict the approved truss system.

Event Production Companies

For custom stage, scenic, lighting, and event structures requiring non-standard connection angles.

Trade Show Contractors

For modular booth systems that must adapt to different footprints, design concepts, and venue constraints.

Motion Capture Integrators

For adjustable technical frameworks built around capture volumes, camera arrays, sensors, or tracking hardware.

Rigging Professionals

For approved truss systems requiring an adjustable connection angle between compatible truss sections.

Scenic and Fabrication Shops

For prototypes, irregular structures, and modular builds where standardized fixed-angle corners are too restrictive.

AV and Technical Integrators

For equipment-support truss systems requiring adjustable relationships between cameras, sensors, displays, lighting, or other technical elements.

Included Connection Hardware

One Hardware Set for One Connecting Side Only.

The EVT290S-Hinge includes one set of compatible conical connection hardware for one connecting side only. The 2-way hinge configuration provides two truss connection directions, but included hardware does not cover both sides. Additional compatible connecting hardware is required for the remaining truss connection. Confirm the current product package, approved truss system, and connection schedule before assembly.

One Connecting Side

The included hardware set is intended for one of the hinge’s two available truss connection sides.

4 Conical Couplers

One hardware set includes four compatible conical couplers for one connecting side.

8 Tapered Pins

Eight tapered pins secure the conical couplers through the aligned receiver positions on that connecting side.

8 R-Clips

Eight R-clips retain the tapered pins after installation. Confirm that every installed tapered pin has its required R-clip before the truss system is lifted, moved, or loaded.

The Hinge Angle and Truss Connections Are Separate Elements

Verify the selected hinge position as well as complete installation of every conical coupler, tapered pin, and R-clip before the truss system is lifted or loaded. The ability of the hinge to rotate should not be interpreted as permission to change the approved truss system while the assembly is under load.

System Compatibility

EVT290S, F34, and Compatible 290 mm Square Truss Systems.

The EVT290S-Hinge is designed around a nominal 290 mm square profile and 50 mm main tubing. Compatibility with another truss component requires more than matching the nominal outside dimensions. Receiver position, conical connector details, chord spacing, component orientation, and applicable structural data must also correspond.

EVT290S Compatibility

The hinge is configured for the EVT290S nominal 290 mm square-truss profile.

F34 Compatibility

The product is intended for compatible F34-style 290 mm square-truss systems.

Standard 290 mm Systems

Other standard 290 mm square conical systems should be dimensionally verified before the components are combined.

Selected Connection Angle

Compatibility must account not only for physical connection but also for the selected hinge angle, component orientation, and complete approved truss system.

Physical Fit Does Not Establish Structural Equivalence

A hinge may physically connect to another 290 mm truss component without the complete assembly having equivalent structural properties. Verify connector dimensions, tubing configuration, material, hinge orientation, system load data, and engineering requirements before combining components from different systems.

Assembly Overview

Set the Required Connection Angle Before the Truss System Is Placed Under Load.

The defining characteristic of the EVT290S-Hinge is its adjustable connection angle. That flexibility also means the selected angle and component orientation should be established as part of the assembly process. The selected hinge angle affects the connected truss sections, support arrangement, and load path of the complete truss system.

01 — Inspect the Hinge

Check the pivot assembly, main tubing, bracing, welds, receivers, conical couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips for damage or abnormal wear.

02 — Determine the Required Angle

Establish the selected hinge angle and component orientation from the approved truss system before completing the surrounding truss connections.

03 — Position the Hinge

Adjust the pivot to the specified connection angle while the truss system is in a condition suitable for assembly and adjustment.

04 — Connect the Truss

Align adjoining truss receivers and install compatible conical connection hardware without forcing mismatched components into position.

05 — Secure Connection Hardware

Fully seat the tapered pins and install all required R-clips at the truss connection interfaces.

06 — Verify the Complete Truss System

Confirm the selected hinge position, truss alignment, connection security, support arrangement, and complete assembled truss system before loading or lifting.

Safety and Engineering

An Adjustable Connection Angle Changes the Complete Truss System.

The structural behavior of an adjustable hinge cannot be defined by the 0–180-degree movement range alone. Changing the selected hinge angle changes the relationship between connected truss sections and can alter spans, support reactions, load direction, component forces, and the behavior of the complete truss system.

Inspect the pivot assembly, chords, braces, welds, receivers, connection hardware, and adjoining truss before use.

Remove components from service if cracks, permanent deformation, damaged welds, excessive wear, or other structural defects are identified.

Establish the required hinge angle before the truss system is subjected to its intended loading condition.

Do not assume that every position within the 0–180-degree movement range has the same structural capacity.

Do not intentionally reposition the hinge while the truss assembly is carrying suspended or otherwise unsupported loads unless the complete engineered procedure specifically permits it.

Verify complete seating of all conical couplers, tapered pins, and R-clips before loading the truss system.

Account for the selected hinge angle when evaluating spans, supports, bracing, and load paths.

Include gravity, dynamic, transverse, wind, and other applicable environmental or operational loads in the complete structural evaluation.

Have the complete variable-angle truss system reviewed by a licensed professional engineer when required by the configuration, application, or jurisdiction.

Product Questions

EVT290S-Hinge Frequently Asked Questions.

When should I select the EVT290S-Hinge instead of a fixed-angle corner?

Select the hinge when the approved truss system requires an adjustable connection angle or when the specified angle is not available from a fixed-angle corner. Select a fixed-angle corner when the required connection angle is known and remains unchanged.

Can the hinge be adjusted after the truss system has been loaded?

Do not treat the 0–180-degree movement range as authorization to reposition the hinge under load. Establish the selected hinge angle during controlled assembly before the truss system is lifted, supported, or subjected to its intended loading condition, unless a project-specific engineered procedure establishes otherwise.

Does the hinge have the same capacity at every selected angle?

Do not assume so. The selected hinge angle can change the complete truss system’s span relationships, support reactions, load paths, and component forces. Evaluate suitability for the actual approved truss system and intended loading condition.

Can the hinge be combined with another 290 mm square-truss system?

Confirm receiver positions, conical connection details, chord spacing, component orientation, compatible hardware, system load data, and applicable engineering requirements before combining components. A physical connection alone does not establish structural equivalence.
