a body shoulder formed circumferentially along an outer diameter of the elongate tubular body such that the body shoulder protrudes outwardly; and
a body groove formed circumferentially along the outer diameter of the elongate tubular body such that the body groove is spaced apart from the body shoulder;

a sleeve configured to be disposed circumferentially around the elongate tubular body, wherein the sleeve comprises:
a sleeve shoulder at a first end that is configured to be orientated toward the body shoulder of the elongate tubular body; and
a sleeve groove at a second end that is formed circumferentially along an inner diameter of the sleeve such that the sleeve groove is configured to be radially aligned with the body groove of the elongate tubular body;

a first wire ring configured to be disposed within the body groove of the elongate tubular body and the sleeve groove of the sleeve to facilitate blocking the sleeve from sliding on the elongate tubular body in a first axial direction; and
a second wire ring configured to be disposed between the body shoulder of the elongate tubular body and the sleeve shoulder of the sleeve to facilitate blocking the sleeve from sliding on the elongate tubular body in a second axial direction.
