For drawings that call out a wrench-driven set screw, 5/16-18 x 1/2 identifies the coarse thread, length, material class, and square head geometry.

Typical applications include agricultural equipment with exposed mechanisms and field-adjusted stops. This row uses the square-head point menu, but the 5/16-18 x 1/2 note calls out a Full Dog availability limitation; confirm the point style at order. Half Dog points register into shallow holes or slots when location matters under load.

Cold Headers keeps this legacy set screw family practical for maintenance, repair, and production users who still need the square-head form. Review the selected point, wrench clearance, and mating feature before substitution. Cup Point Slotted Headless Set Screws are the related headless option when flush-fitting screwdriver access is preferred.
