6″ Truss Spacer

Additional information

Weight 15 lbs
Dimensions 12 × 12 × 6 in

A 12-inch square truss spacer, 6 inches long and 15 lbs, used to fine-tune the length of a run so a header meets its corner block exactly where it should.

Description

Half a foot of truss sounds trivial until a header lands six inches short of its corner block. The spacer is the part that makes a drawing and a real room agree with each other.

6″ Truss Spacer dimensions and weight

The spacer is 12 in square and 6 in long, weighing 15 lbs. It shares the box truss profile, so it bolts between two sections or between a section and a block with no adapter.

Do you need one on every build?

Not every build, but often enough that experienced crews carry them. Any time a Milwaukee venue’s column spacing or a booth line forces a structure off a round number, a spacer is what recovers the fit.

Fine-tuning a truss run

Insert spacers to lengthen a run in small increments, clear a wall projection, or bring a leg to the exact height a base and header require. The rigger confirms where they belong in the assembly.
