Abstract: A method of assembling a conduit assembly comprises positioning a ferrule over an end portion of an elongate conduit body. The method further comprises positioning a body insert into the end portion of the elongate conduit body. The end portion of the elongate conduit body is positioned between the ferrule and the body insert. The method further comprises expanding a portion of the body insert positioned inside the elongate conduit. The method further comprises positioning an elongate cable in the elongate conduit body. The elongate cable is longer than the elongate conduit body. The method further comprises filling at least a portion of the elongate conduit body with a potting material.

Abstract: A method of assembling a conduit assembly can include seating a ferrule on a distal end portion of an elongate conduit body. The method can further include providing an elongate body insert having a large diameter end an a small diameter end, wherein the elongate body insert defines a hollow tubular body having a passage along a symmetrical axis between the large and small diameter ends. The method can further include 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.
