Fill whips w/o "spring"

[mattboyer30]

I could swear I've seen fill whips that don't have the "spring" on the outer, but can't seem to find one anywhere I've looked. I completely understand the purpose of them, but assumed the ones I'd seen maybe were reinforced internally to keep from kinking, just a guess. It'd be a nice thing to have out in the field for some extra maneuverability. Is anyone aware of that or was I seeing things? (Very possible ) thank you!

I think a right angle fitting would be a safer choice . Even a very slight kink in a HP hose could make a weak spot .

The ones depicted on airtanksplus.com do not have the spring.

Saw quite a few w/o springs on Ebay just now. HOWEVER what used to be listed in the $18-25ish range is $55-70ish! There are some around $17 but they're fully "sprung". (fully springed, spranged springified?!?) You know, end to end.
