2-Way Pivot Corner for 12 x 12 Square Box Truss.
An Adjustable-Angle Corner for 12-Inch End-Plated Truss Systems.
The EVT12S-PVT is a brushed aluminum 2-way pivot corner for EVT12S and 12-Inch End-Plated Truss Systems. Its pivot lets two truss runs meet at an angle set to fit the build, then locks in position before the connecting hardware is tightened. Allowable loading depends on the complete system, including span, supports, connections, orientation, and applied loads.
Product Facts
Product Overview
One Fitting for Custom Directional Changes.
This pivot corner joins two runs of end-plated 12-inch box truss at an angle set to fit the build. A fixed-angle corner locks a run into one angle, while the pivot is set to the angle the build calls for and locked before the hardware is tightened. Evaluate all loading and connection requirements at the completed-system level.
Application Uses
For End-Plate Truss Systems Needing A Custom Directional Change.
This pivot corner may be specified within completed end-plate box truss systems for stage, exhibit, film, installed, and touring applications. Angled configurations change load paths and require project-specific structural-engineer review. Confirm the complete configuration, supports, connections, orientation, attachment points, environmental conditions, and applied loads before use.
Included Hardware
Supplied with Two Hardware Sets for Both Connection Faces.
Two sets of connecting hardware are included with the pivot corner, one for each connection face. Confirm fastener requirements at every actual joint, including bolt grade, length, condition, engagement, and the applicable manufacturer tightening procedure.

System Compatibility
EVT12S and 12-Inch End-Plated Truss Systems. Verify Every Connection.
The EVT12S-PVT is designed for EVT12S and 12-Inch End-Plated Truss Systems. Exact fit with other systems is not guaranteed. Before combining components, verify end-plate dimensions and thickness, bolt-hole positions, chord alignment, hardware, fastener engagement, and completed-joint seating.
Assembly Overview
Set the Angle. Lock the Pivot, Then Tighten the Hardware.
Assembly should be performed by personnel qualified for the truss system in accordance with applicable manufacturer requirements. This outline provides neither torque values nor installation approval.
Safety and Engineering
A Pivot Corner Sets Direction. It Does Not Establish System Capacity.
Allowable loading depends on the complete truss system, including span, supports, orientation, joints, suspension method, and applied loads. Suspended, load-bearing, dynamic-load, and angled applications require qualified structural or entertainment-rigging review. No stand-alone capacity value or torque value is provided here.
Pivot Corner Questions
EVT12S-PVT Frequently Asked Questions.
How is a pivot corner different from a fixed-angle corner?
A fixed-angle corner locks a truss run into one angle, such as 90, 60, or 45 degrees. The EVT12S-PVT is set to the angle the build calls for and then locked, so it covers directional changes that do not fall on a standard increment.
What angles can it be set to?
It is set to the angle your build requires instead of a fixed increment. A minimum and maximum angle are not stated here, so confirm the range you need before ordering.
What hardware comes with it?
It includes two sets of connecting hardware, one for each connection face. Additional fasteners should match the hardware specification of the adjacent truss sections.
Does the pivot corner have its own load capacity?
No stand-alone capacity value is provided. Allowable loading depends on the complete system, and angled connections change load paths, so have a licensed structural engineer review the complete configuration before use.
