Heavy-Duty Anchored Base Plate Knowledge Center
EVT290S-SSBP Black 12 x 12 Inch Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Truss Base Plate.
A Heavy-Duty Foundation for Permanent and Semi-Permanent Truss Installations.
The EVT290S-SSBP-Black is a 12 x 12 in / 304.8 x 304.8 mm heavy-duty Q235 stainless-steel truss base plate designed primarily for anchored bottom-base applications. Its 19.55 mm / 0.77 in plate thickness, 34.6 lb / 15.69 kg weight, five pre-drilled concrete-anchor holes, and matte black powder-coat finish support permanent or semi-permanent compatible 290 mm square-truss installations. The completed structure still requires installation-specific anchor, substrate, load, wind, and stability review.
Identity and Core Facts
Product Overview
A Heavy-Duty Base Plate for Anchored and Long-Term Truss Installations.
The EVT290S-SSBP-Black provides a substantial, matte-black stainless-steel starting point for compatible 290 mm square-truss columns and related permanent or semi-permanent structures. At 34.6 lb / 15.69 kg, it has significantly more component mass than a lightweight aluminum display plate. Its five dedicated anchor holes support an engineered concrete-mounting plan; the plate itself does not establish an anchor design, substrate capacity, permitted truss height, attachment load, or wind suitability.
Applications
Designed for Permanent, Semi-Permanent, Outdoor, and Architectural Truss Builds.
Use the EVT290S-SSBP-Black where a completed design calls for an anchored, heavy-duty bottom plate for compatible 290 mm square truss. Typical applications include permanently mounted truss columns, reviewed architectural lighting and display structures, fixed stage or venue starts, outdoor installations with engineered environmental loading, and semi-permanent structures installed by trained personnel.
Functional Details
Anchor-Ready Construction with Substantial Self-Weight and a Matte Black Finish.
The product combines a 12 x 12 in stainless-steel plate, 19.55 mm / 0.77 in thickness, five anchor holes, and a conical connection interface for one compatible 290 mm square-truss connection. The matte black powder coat is a finish feature; it does not change structural requirements. Greater plate mass can contribute to the overall configuration, but it must not be treated as a substitute for the engineered anchoring, ballast, bracing, and stability measures required for the completed structure.

System Compatibility
EVT290S, F34, and Compatible 290 mm Square Truss Systems.
The EVT290S-SSBP-Black uses 290 mm square-truss geometry and a matching conical connection system. It is intended for compatible EVT290S, F34, and standard 290 mm square-truss systems with matching receiver spacing and conical interface geometry. Compatibility must be verified at the actual connection, including the receiver geometry, coupler dimensions, full conical seating, and engineering data for the complete configuration.
Installation Planning
Assembly Requirements for an Anchored Truss Base.
This base plate is one component in a site-specific structural installation. Before mounting, verify the approved installation drawing, concrete or other substrate condition, anchor selection, embedment, spacing, edge distance, truss configuration, anticipated loads, environmental conditions, and inspection requirements. Installation should be performed only by trained personnel under the required project oversight.
Safety and Anchoring
Concrete Anchoring Requires Substrate Verification and Engineering.
The five pre-drilled holes provide an anchor-hole pattern; they do not establish an anchor system. Safe installation depends on the actual substrate, concrete strength and condition, anchor type and grade, embedment, spacing, edge distance, torque or installation procedure, truss height, attached load, center of gravity, lateral loading, wind exposure, and the complete support arrangement. A 34.6 lb plate is heavier than a lightweight aluminum plate, but its mass alone is not a stability, ballast, or wind-resistance rating.
Evidence and Review
What This Page Confirms, and What the Installed Structure Must Still Establish.
This page confirms the documented product facts: 12 x 12 in plate size, 19.55 mm / 0.77 in plate thickness, 34.6 lb / 15.69 kg product weight, Q235 stainless-steel construction, matte black powder-coat finish, five 0.562 in / 14.28 mm anchor holes, included connection hardware, and compatible 290 mm square-truss context. It does not establish anchor capacity, required embedment, allowable truss height, fixture load, ballast, wind suitability, substrate adequacy, or the stability of a specific completed structure.
Product information on this page is based on current product documentation and is subject to change. Verify the current product drawing, included hardware, anchor requirements, and installation instructions before ordering or installing. For permanent, public-facing, outdoor, or load-bearing structures, obtain the project-specific review required by the applicable authority and design professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
EVT290S-SSBP-Black Questions.
What are the base-plate dimensions?
The plate measures 12 x 12 in / 304.8 x 304.8 mm and has a 19.55 mm / 0.77 in plate thickness.
How much does the plate weigh?
The documented product weight is 34.6 lb / 15.69 kg.
How many anchor holes are provided?
The plate includes five pre-drilled holes measuring 0.562 in / 14.28 mm for nominal 0.5 in / 12.7 mm concrete anchors selected and approved for the installation.
Does the plate include truss connection hardware?
Yes. The plate includes four factory-attached half couplers, four included coupler pins, and four included R-Clips for one compatible truss-to-plate connection.
Can this plate be permanently mounted?
Yes. It is intended for anchored permanent or semi-permanent applications when the substrate, anchors, embedment, loads, and installation details are reviewed and approved as required for the project.
Is it compatible with EVT290S and F34?
It is intended for compatible EVT290S, F34, and standard 290 mm square-truss systems when receiver spacing, coupler dimensions, connection geometry, and the engineering data match the connected system.
Does the 34.6 lb plate weight eliminate the need for anchoring or stability review?
No. The product weight does not replace the project-specific requirements for anchoring, substrate verification, ballast, bracing, wind analysis, or complete stability engineering.
What material and finish are listed?
The current product source lists Q235 stainless steel with a matte black powder-coated finish.
