5/16-18 x 5 is a square head set screw used where an open wrench or socket can access the head and point style must be specified at order.

Typical applications include couplings and collars in heavy service where point style is part of the assembly design. The five-point structure lets the same square-head size serve locating, bearing, and seating requirements. Flat points bear against a machined flat without intentional penetration into the mating surface.

Cold Headers can review less-common square-head sizes, long lengths, and point combinations when the standard catalog matrix does not cover the need. The family runs UNC coarse thread throughout, the traditional square-head series. Cup Point Slotted Headless Set Screws are the related headless option when flush-fitting screwdriver access is preferred.
