When a threaded component must be seated with external wrench access, 1-8 x 2 1/2 provides the traditional square head set screw format.

Typical applications include construction machinery where large wrench flats are easier to clean and grip. The row represents a square-head size, while the point selection is made from Half Dog, Full Dog, Cone, Oval, and Flat. Point selection should reflect the shaft feature, acceptable marking, and expected service adjustment.

Cold Headers supports square-head set screw sourcing with a catalog organized around exact size, standard, and point selection. Review the selected point, wrench clearance, and mating feature before substitution. For cup point square heads, use the separate Cup Point Square Head Set Screws category rather than this five-point family.
