Abstract
A terminal assembly or part for closing a conduit opening in a fitting, conduit socket or conduit includes a shrink tube having one end shrunk onto the conduit opening and the opposite end closed by an end part which may include a supporting element. In one embodiment, additional supporting elements are provided besides the supporting element of the end part. If an elongated object is to be inserted into the opening, at least a portion of the end part is removed to enable insertion of the elongated object such as a cable with the removal being accomplished without damaging any of the shrink tube so that a subsequent heat-shrinking of the tube onto the inserted elongated object will form a sealing closure with the object as the remains of the end part are expelled from the assembly.
