For drawings that call out a wrench-driven set screw, 5/16-18 x 4 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. Point choice is part of the order detail, with Half Dog, Full Dog, Cone, Oval, and Flat handled under this family. External wrench access is useful when an internal socket recess would be hard to keep clear.

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.
