7/8-9 x 3 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. Point choice is part of the order detail, with Half Dog, Full Dog, Cone, Oval, and Flat handled under this family. Point selection should reflect the shaft feature, acceptable marking, and expected service adjustment.
Availability-row diameters and unusually long lengths are handled as quote-driven square-head requirements by Cold Headers. Review the selected point, wrench clearance, and mating feature before substitution. When the assembly cannot accept an exposed square head, compare headless socket set screw families before substituting.
