This is so very sad.
I’d go further than say replace your brass nuts often, I’d say they should never be used in the first place, they should never be sold with any clamp used for cannabis extraction.
Important past discussions on such matters.
“…The reason brass is sold with these is for washdown applications where steel is not acceptable.
Stainless nuts can gall and seize of course on SS bolts.”
I literally bought a bunch of replacement nuts earlier today gearing up for the processing season.
No one should be getting killed doing this!
