Hello, we are looking to buy a small stash of drain funnel hose clamps. Looking for eight hose clamps that we can plate.
We need #41

Dont plate them. It will induce hydrogen enbrittlement. I did some and everyone broke when trying to install them. I found commercial replacements but they are blue.

I didn’t have the same experience as Bruce. I plated a couple boxes of parts with no ill effects. I just grabbed one of the clamps today, squeezed it 20 times and held it open for the pic. Seems to be fine.
