ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for fixing a relatively flexible element (3) in a tube (2) with tight fitting, by arranging around the flexible element a co-displacing member (5) which encloses this element, and forcing the co-displacing member into the tube while co-displacing therewith the flexible element. The co-displacing member can herein be releasably connected to the tube or the flexible element, and the connection can be broken when the co-displacing member is forced into the tube. The invention also relates to an assembly of a tube and a relatively flexible element for receiving therein with tight fitting, for use in such a method, which is provided with a co-displacing member for arranging around the flexible element and enclosing this element. The co-displacing member can be releasably connected to the tube or the flexible element, for instance be formed integrally with the tube, wherein a weakened portion (6) is then formed between the tube and the co-displacing member. The tube can further have a widened end part (4), the inner diameter of which corresponds with the outer diameter of the co-displacing member arranged round the flexible element.
