EVT50C-ALC — Aluminum Clamp for 48mm to 51mm Tubing, MINI 360 Alternative

The EVT50C-ALC is a high-strength lightweight aluminum clamp for 48mm to 51mm (2-inch) OD truss, tube, and pipe — a direct alternative to the widely used MINI 360 clamp, matching its specifications with the same tube range, load rating, and bolt interface in a 6061-T6 aluminum body with a silver anodized finish. Rated at 100 kg safe working load, 30 kg max shear load, and 4.9 kN tensile strength, weighing just 0.156 kg, and TUV Rheinland Certified. The included M10 x 30mm bolt with spring lock washer connects directly to standard M10 fixture yokes and accessory brackets for immediate installation. Compatible with standard 2-inch truss tubing and pipe across temporary and permanent event production, stage lighting, trade show, and studio installation applications.

Function and Compatibility:

The EVT50C-ALC clamps to any 48mm to 51mm OD round tube or pipe through a wing nut collar assembly. The collar opens, seats onto the tube, and closes before the wing nut is tightened clockwise to lock the clamp in place. The M10 x 30mm bolt with spring lock washer connects to any fixture yoke or accessory bracket with a standard M10 mounting slot. The spring lock washer maintains bolt tension under vibration and thermal cycling. At 0.156 kg, the clamp adds negligible weight per position — useful when deploying in quantity across a full rig where total hardware weight contributes to the load calculation. The silver anodized finish resists surface corrosion from moisture and stage-chemical exposure under normal use. Compatible with EVT290S, EVT290I, F34 series truss main chords, and standard Schedule 40 aluminum pipe in the 48mm to 51mm outer diameter range.

Key Features

• MINI 360 Compatible Specification: Matches the tube range, bolt interface, and load profile of the widely used MINI 360 clamp — a direct drop-in alternative for existing inventory using that standard.
• 100 kg Safe Working Load: Rated at 100 kg SWL, 30 kg max shear load, and 4.9 kN tensile strength, TUV Rheinland Certified — for LED pars, small wash lights, signage brackets, and light-duty accessories.
• Lightweight at 0.156 kg: Per-clamp weight is negligible — deploy in quantity across a full rig without meaningful impact on the total hardware load calculation.
• M10 Attachment Bolt Included: Ships with M10 x 30mm bolt and spring lock washer — connects to any standard M10 fixture yoke or accessory bracket on arrival.
• 48mm to 51mm Tube Fit: Fits standard 48mm to 51mm (2-inch) OD tubing — compatible with F34 truss, EVT290S, EVT290I main chords, and Schedule 40 aluminum pipe.
• Silver Anodized Finish: Factory-applied anodized surface resists corrosion from moisture and environmental exposure under normal use conditions.
• 6061-T6 Aluminum Body: High-strength structural aluminum construction.
• S45C Carbon Steel Hardware: High-strength S45C carbon steel fasteners for reliable long-term clamping performance.
• TUV Rheinland Certified: Independently tested and certified — not manufacturer self-certification.
• Wing Nut Closure: Tool-free tightening — open, seat, position, and lock without wrenches or hex keys.

Assembly Instructions

1. Turn the wing nut counterclockwise to release the clamp bolt and open the collar.
2. Open the collar and position the clamp around the truss tube or pipe.
3. Insert the bolt and washer through the collar.
4. Tighten the wing nut clockwise until the clamp is securely locked.
5. Verify stability before attaching any equipment.

Safety and Rigging Notice

Critical Rigging Guidelines:

• Load Rating: Do not exceed the 100 kg safe working load or 30 kg max shear load. Remove and label any clamp as DO NOT USE if it shows visible damage, deformation, or stripped threads.
• Inspection: Inspect before every use. Drops and impacts can compromise clamping strength without visible surface damage.
• Secondary Safety: The use of safety cables is mandatory for all overhead fixture suspensions above occupied areas.
• Hardware Check: Ensure the bolt, washer, and wing nut are fully engaged and tightened before attaching any load.
• Professional Review: A licensed structural engineer must review any weight-bearing or overhead truss system. The purchase of this product does not authorize a specific installation or use.
