Is because whoever put the barb in didn't thread the hole first.. they just put it on.. tapped it in a bit with a hammer.. then forcefuly screwed the barb in place.. letting it create it's own threads.. that's not good.. If the hole would of been threaded first it would of worked fine and not cracked.. that's just my 2cents though..
I only buy copper top as well.. I will be using my maze2 for years to come.. I have no need for anything else.. I don't see the difference between blocks that are all copper..

Interesting theory, but I don't believe that Dtek would do something so silly. There would be a lot more problems if that was the case.
I think that it was either threaded a little too tight, or this crack came from the barb being screwed WAY down, where the thread is either not finished, or where the barb hits the block (and lifts the top).
Ideally, the top would have to be threaded all the way through, and there would be enough clearance under the top, for the barb to be screwed all the way down. It's either that, or use barbs with shorter threads.
It still ain't rocket science.
