The Death of Horatio

Something like this would deteriorate the tensile strength of the bolt should the nut let loose, the pressure would shear the bolt away anyways.

Just read on a marine thing when I Googled silicon bronze nuts:

Bronze is much more suited than brass or other similar components when it comes to salt water environments or for areas with extreme weather possibilities. For this reason, silicon bronze is a popular choice for decks or other outdoor projects. It is also uniquely suited to projects that involve exposure to gases and sewage

That’s called shark bite.

Memory is blank last thing I remember was going to check on the unit and woke up all busted up. I quit extraction after that.

I’m kind of surprised these companies don’t get sued out of business regularly?

Legal liability is severely limited by the manufacturer being in china. If his estate wanted to sue someone, it is more about the defendant having insurance or money than it is being truly at fault. Generally, the lawyers name everybody under the sun in the initial suit. The rules do not penalize doing so. Then they drop off the broke defendants. Sometimes the party who ends up paying has very little to do with the accident. It’s often who has the best insurance.

If you import a product then resell it then you are considered the manufacturer and assume full legal liability.
As far as the defendant having funds to cover legal judgments are these extraction system companies creating shell companies and non-domestic intermediaries to shelter liability?
Has there been previous attempts to sue?

A basic defense to negligence is for the defendant to claim they were just being ordinary and reasonable within community standards. The unfortunate result is that if most companies are selling the same equipment, even if it blows up on someone, that is not negligence. It is not (supposed to be) determined by individual outcomes. However in practice whenever there is a death or serious injury, an attorney will find someone’s insurance to sue, and then there will be an out of court settlement, because that is almost always cheaper for the insurance company than going to trial.
