EVT290A-CON Conical Truss Connector.
For Joining Compatible EVT290I, EVT290T, EVT290S, and F34 Truss Segments.
The EVT290A-CON is a double-sided conical connector used to join two compatible 290 mm truss segments end-to-end. It seats into the conical receivers of adjoining truss sections and is secured with the included coupler-pins and r-clips. Riggers may call this component an egg, spigot, or truss connector. The connector is used throughout compatible EVT290I, EVT290T, EVT290S, and F34-format truss systems where the complete interface has been verified.
Product Facts
Product Overview
The Core Link Between Two 290 mm Truss Segments.
The EVT290A-CON is a double-sided conical coupler that joins two compatible truss receivers end-to-end. Once seated, it is secured with one coupler-pin and one r-clip at each connection side. A steel hammer is used to seat the coupler-pins fully during installation. The complete truss assembly—not the connector alone—determines appropriate loading, support, and engineering requirements.
What the Connector Can Build
Join Truss Sections and Maintain Essential Connection Spares.
The EVT290A-CON is used at standard linear connection points in compatible 290 mm truss runs. It can also be used as a replacement or inventory-expansion component where the connector, coupler-pins, r-clips, receiver details, and completed structure are verified for the intended system.
Included Components
One Complete Kit for One Truss Connection Point.
Each EVT290A-CON package includes one conical coupler, two coupler-pins, and two r-clips: the hardware required for one connection point between two compatible truss receivers. A steel hammer is required for installation and is not included. Confirm current package contents and inspect all components before assembly.
Confirm the coupler is fully seated and both specified coupler-pins and r-clips are installed before moving, loading, lifting, or suspending the finished structure.

System Compatibility
Use the CON in Compatible 290 mm Conical Truss Systems.
The EVT290A-CON is intended for compatible EVT290I I-Beam, EVT290T triangular, EVT290S square, and F34-format 290 mm truss systems when receiver dimensions, conical connector details, coupler-pin alignment, r-clip fit, component condition, and applicable documentation are verified. A physical fit or nominal 290 mm size alone does not establish structural equivalence for a completed structure.
Verify component interfaces, manufacturer documentation, required hardware, installed orientation, and project-specific engineering before mixing brands, configurations, or load-bearing components.
Assembly Overview
Seat, Pin, and Retain Every Connection Before Use.
Assemble the connection with trained personnel, compatible components, current manufacturer instructions, and the approved truss plan. Do not force a coupler into alignment. If the connection does not seat naturally, stop and inspect the receivers, connector, hardware, component orientation, and complete assembly before proceeding.
Safety and Engineering
A Conical Coupler Is a Primary Truss Connection Point.
The EVT290A-CON does not independently establish a load or span rating. It forms the connection between adjoining truss sections, so damaged, worn, incompatible, or improperly secured hardware can compromise the completed structure. Evaluate all connection, support, orientation, inspection, load, and engineering requirements for the actual approved truss configuration.
Product Questions
EVT290A-CON Questions.
What does the EVT290A-CON connect?
It joins two compatible 290 mm truss segments end-to-end by seating into the conical receivers of adjoining sections and using one coupler-pin and one r-clip at each connection side.
What tool is needed to install it?
Use a steel hammer to seat the two coupler-pins fully during installation. The hammer is not included.
What hardware is included?
Each package includes one double-sided conical coupler, two coupler-pins, and two r-clips: the hardware required for one complete connection point.
Which truss systems can it be used with?
It is intended for compatible EVT290I, EVT290T, EVT290S, F34-format, and verified 290 mm conical truss interfaces. Confirm the complete connection interface before use.
