Patent ID: 8590148

Claim:
A method of assembling a conduit assembly, comprising: seating a ferrule on a distal end portion of an elongate conduit body; mounting the end portion of the elongate conduit body on a small diameter section of a tubular body insert, the tubular body insert comprising a hollow body defining a passage through the body insert along a symmetrical axis and a large diameter section attached to the small diameter section via a shoulder, such that the shoulder contacts a distal end portion of the ferrule interposed axially between the large diameter section of the body insert and the distal end of the elongate conduit body to inhibit axial contact between the distal end portion of the elongate conduit body and the large diameter section of the body insert; radially compressing at least a portion of the elongate conduit body between the body insert and the ferrule; and deploying one or more transmission lines into the elongate conduit body.
