Patent ID: 7966724

Claim:
A method comprising: seating a ferrule on a distal end portion of an elongate conduit body; providing an elongate body insert having a large diameter end and a small diameter end, wherein the elongate body insert defines a hollow tubular body having a passage along a symmetrical axis between the large diameter end and the small diameter end; mounting the end portion of the elongate conduit body on the small diameter end of the body insert, such that the large diameter end of the body insert contacts an end of the ferrule interposed axially between the large diameter end of the body insert and the distal end of the elongate conduit body, the distal end of the elongate conduit body axially adjacent the end of the ferrule to prevent axial contact between the distal end of the elongate conduit body and the large diameter end of the body insert; compressing the elongate conduit body between the body insert and the ferrule; deploying a transmission line into the elongate conduit body, wherein the transmission line comprises at least one of a hydraulic hose and an electrical cable; and pouring a potting material into the elongate conduit body.
