I have a question regarding the optimum use of lock washers.
The scenario is such,
A half inch threaded rod is extended from the structure vertically. A half inch nut is threaded onto the rod, followed by, a half inch unistrut washer, inch and five eighths unistrut, another strut washer, the lock washer and a half inch nut on the bottom.
I was always told to install the lock washer on the bottom of the determined load. Granted, by tightening the bottom nut the level of the unistrut could be altered.
Is this a correct assumption regarding the use of the lock washer on the bottom?
Please excuse my ignorance on the matter.
