EVT290S 7.5-Degree Corner Knowledge Center
EVT290X-7DA Black 7.5-Degree Fixed-Angle Square Truss Corner.
A Heavy-Duty 290 mm Angled Truss Component Engineered to Produce a Defined 7.5-Degree Structural Transition.
The EVT290X-7DA Black is a fixed-angle, 2-way aluminum truss corner configured to produce a 7.5-degree change in direction between compatible 290 mm square truss sections. The component can be integrated into pitched roof assemblies, rafter configurations, gable structures, and other layouts requiring a repeatable angular transition. Construction consists of EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum, 50 mm outside-diameter main chords with a 3 mm wall thickness, and 20 mm diagonal bracing with a 2 mm wall thickness. The exterior surface uses a matte black powder-coat finish. Mechanical connection is provided through a conical connection architecture.
Product Facts
Product Overview
Fixed 7.5-Degree Geometry for Predictable Angular Transitions.
The functional purpose of the EVT290X-7DA Black is to introduce a predetermined 7.5-degree angular offset into a compatible 290 mm square truss assembly. Unlike an adjustable hinge, the geometry of this component is fixed. The resulting angle is therefore mechanically repeatable and does not require field adjustment of the corner itself.
Common Applications
The 7.5-Degree Geometry Can Be Used to Generate Pitch, Slope, and Rafter Transitions.
The component is relevant when the structural design requires a repeatable angular transition rather than a horizontal, vertical, or conventional 90-degree connection. Its geometry is particularly applicable to roof systems in which slope is an intentional design parameter.
Who It’s For
Applicable to Professional Users Requiring a Defined 7.5-Degree Truss Transition.
The component is intended for professional structural, staging, production, fabrication, and integration workflows in which the truss geometry has been defined before assembly.
Connection Hardware
Conical Connection Hardware.
The EVT290X-7DA Black interfaces with compatible truss sections through a conical connection architecture. The connection process mechanically joins the adjoining truss receivers to the fixed-angle corner.
The assembled connection should not be considered complete until the required couplers are seated, the tapered pins are fully inserted, and the associated retaining clips are correctly installed.

System Compatibility
290 mm Square Truss Geometry with Conical Mechanical Connections.
Compatibility is not established by nominal profile dimensions alone. A valid mechanical and structural interface requires matching receiver geometry, connection spacing, coupler dimensions, chord position, component orientation, and applicable structural design data.
A component that can be physically connected should not automatically be interpreted as structurally interchangeable. Complete compatibility must be evaluated using the relevant geometry, connection design, material data, load information, and engineering requirements.
Assembly Overview
Assembly Must Preserve the Defined 7.5-Degree Orientation.
Because the component contains fixed geometry, its installed orientation directly determines the direction of the resulting truss slope. Incorrect orientation changes the intended structural geometry even when all connection hardware is mechanically installed.
Safety & Engineering
The Corner Does Not Have an Independent Universal System Load Rating.
Structural capacity is a function of the complete configuration. Relevant variables include span, support conditions, corner orientation, connected truss sections, load position, load direction, bracing, roof covering, dynamic effects, wind, rain accumulation, and other environmental or operational forces.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EVT290X-7DA Black?
The EVT290X-7DA Black is a fixed-angle 2-way aluminum truss corner that creates a 7.5-degree directional transition in a compatible 290 mm square truss assembly.
Is the 7.5-degree angle adjustable?
No. The 7.5-degree geometry is fixed by the physical construction of the component. It does not function as an adjustable hinge.
What are the overall dimensions?
The listed overall length is 238.76 mm / 9.4 in. The nominal overall truss width is 290 mm / 11.41 in.
What is the listed component weight?
The listed weight is 8 lb / 3.62 kg.
What material is used?
The component 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 3 mm wall thickness.
What are the brace tubing dimensions?
The diagonal bracing uses 20 mm tubing with a 2 mm wall thickness.
What surface finish is applied?
The surface is finished with a matte black powder coating.
Why is a 7.5-degree corner useful in a roof structure?
The fixed-angle geometry converts the direction of the connected truss and can therefore generate a defined roof pitch. A sloped roof geometry can establish a preferred direction for water runoff and can be incorporated into rafter or gable configurations.
Does creating a 7.5-degree pitch prevent water accumulation?
Not automatically. The angle can contribute to drainage geometry, but actual water behavior depends on the complete roof surface, drainage path, deflection, installation geometry, environmental conditions, and structural design.
Does physical connection confirm structural compatibility?
No. Physical connection confirms only that components can be mechanically joined. Structural compatibility additionally depends on geometry, materials, connection design, load capacity, system configuration, and engineering requirements.
Need to define a 7.5-degree EVT290S roof or truss configuration?
Provide the intended span, structure dimensions, roof geometry, support conditions, and required truss configuration. Truss Genius can assist with component selection, compatibility review, system layout, related corner components, base plates, engineering coordination, and freight requirements.
