Description

EVT12S-Grapple | 90-Degree Connecting Bar Set (For 12″ Plated Truss)

The EVT12S-Grapple is a specialized 90-degree connecting hardware set designed for 12-inch square end-plated aluminum truss systems. This heavy-duty bar set allows two straight sections of truss to be bolted together at a fixed right angle, creating a clean, flush corner without the need for a large corner block.

Function & Application:

Ideal for constructing flat frames, signage borders, and architectural perimeters, the EVT12S-Grapple bolts directly to the end plates of standard EVT12S truss. This provides a streamlined aesthetic often preferred for step-and-repeat frames or display structures where a bulky 6-way corner block is unnecessary.

Key Features

• Precise 90-Degree Angle: Creates a rigid, flush right-angle connection between two truss segments.
• Streamlined Aesthetics: Eliminates the visual bulk of a corner block for cleaner frame designs.
• Heavy-Duty Steel/Aluminum Construction: Engineered to withstand structural stresses at the connection point.
• Plated Truss Compatibility: Designed specifically for the bolt-hole pattern of EVT12S 12″ plated truss.
• Custom Finishes: Custom powder coat finishes are available upon request to match your truss color (Black, White, etc.).

Designed by Evolve Truss, the EVT12S-Grapple offers a professional, low-profile solution for creating rigid corners in plated truss structures.

⚠️ Safety & Engineering Notice

❗ Usage Warning: The EVT12S-Grapple is designed for specific structural configurations (frames/arches). Do not exceed the load capacity of the connection. This hardware creates a moment connection that behaves differently than a standard corner block; consult an engineer for load-bearing applications.

Important Guidelines for Safe Use:

• Inspect the grapple bars for bending, cracks, or deformation before every use.
• Ensure all bolts and nuts are installed correctly and tightened to the specified torque.
• Do not attach truss with fewer bolts than required by the design.
• Handle truss segments with care; do not drop or drag components.
• Truss assembly should be carried out only by personnel familiar with truss mechanics.

⚠️ Compatibility Warning for Mixed-Brand Builds

Crucial Steps for Safe Assembly:

• Verify Bolt Patterns: Plated truss varies by manufacturer. The EVT12S-Grapple is machined for EVT12S specifications. Confirm your truss plate dimensions match before purchase.
• Alignment Check: Ensure the truss chords align perfectly at the 90-degree junction to prevent cross-threading or stress on the bolts.
