Oberdorfer 5395 Plug – 1/8" Replacement Part
Small parts stop pumps. The Oberdorfer 5395, is the factory component for its position, dimensioned and specified so it does the job the design expects of it.
Material grade matters more here than size does. A plated steel substitute in a bronze pump on seawater duty will corrode, seize and then shear, and removing the remains is far more work than fitting the right part would have been.
Use an anti-seize compound suited to the metals involved where stainless runs in bronze, and avoid overtightening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a standard hardware store equivalent?
Only if the grade and dimensions match exactly. In a bronze pump on seawater the material grade is the part that matters most.
Q: How many does the pump use?
That varies by model. Check the parts breakdown, and order a spare because these are the parts that go missing.
Q: Should anti-seize be used?
Where stainless threads into bronze, a suitable compound helps a great deal at the next service.
Q: Is it worth replacing hardware that still looks fine?
If it came out galled, stretched or pitted, replace it. If it came out clean, it can usually go back.
