Method of securing a pipe in a hanger

A method of securing a pipe in a hanger, the method comprising:

• supporting the pipe with a suspension member comprising an upper clevis and a lower clevis joined to the upper clevis by a threaded rod;
• inserting the threaded rod horizontally through the upper clevis and the lower clevis;
• placing a lock tab washer on the threaded rod such that the threaded rod extends through a washer hole of the lock tab washer, the lock tab washer defining a first tab and a second tab, the first tab and the second tab provided along a common longitudinal axis;
• threading a nut on the threaded rod;
• preventing the lock tab washer from rotating with respect to the suspension member by folding the first tab of the lock tab washer over a side edge of the suspension member, wherein folding the first tab of the lock tab washer over the side edge of the suspension member comprises folding the first tab over a side edge of the upper clevis and a side edge of the lower clevis;
• and
• preventing the nut from rotating with respect to the lock tab washer by folding the second tab of the lock tab washer about a fold line proximal to a relief notch over a circumferential side of the nut;
• wherein the first tab has a width greater than a diameter of the washer hole, and the second tab has a width less than the diameter of the washer hole.
