Abstract

An inner-gripping glide assembly with an outer sleeve for mounting upon the end of a tubular member, which glide has an upright pedestal with outwardly extending gripping prongs for insertion into the tubular member and wherein a relatively wide gap is provided between the pedestal and sleeve so as to allow the tubular member to nest against the bottom surface of the sleeve thereby allowing maximum penetration by means of the pedestal-mounted gripping prongs into the tubular member and avoidance of plating-process flashing which may be formed upon the inner wall surfaces of the tubular member within the vicinity of the open end thereof.
