Leaks, downtime, and complexity are the enemies of productivity. That’s why Banjo’s manifold flange connections are engineered to eliminate failure points, reduce installation headaches, and streamline maintenance, so you can stay focused on getting the job done right.
In agricultural, industrial, and chemical environments, fluid system reliability isn’t optional, it’s essential. Whether you're managing sprayers, chemical tanks, or high-output pump setups, your connections need to hold under pressure, resist harsh chemicals, and reconfigure without a fuss.
The Problem with Traditional Threaded Systems
Threaded systems might be familiar, but they come with a host of issues that cost time and money:
- Installation Hassles: Threads demand pipe tape or sealant, perfect alignment, and lengthy cure times.
- Maintenance Time Sinks: Replacing one component often means dismantling a whole assembly.
- Leak Risks: Threaded seals degrade over time, especially with vibration, thermal expansion, or aggressive chemicals.
Even a small leak can lead to wasted product, environmental exposure, or unexpected downtime, none of which your operation can afford.
The Banjo Manifold Advantage
Banjo’s manifold flange connections change the game. These gasket-and-clamp systems eliminate threading altogether and provide a robust, leak-resistant connection that’s purpose-built for demanding applications.
Key benefits include:
- Tool-Free Assembly: No more hunting down sealant or torque specs. Banjo clamps snap into place.
- Fast Reconfiguration: Systems can be reassembled or adjusted in minutes, not hours.
- High Chemical Resistance: Available with EPDM or FKM gaskets to resist a wide variety of chemicals.
- Visual Alignment & Safety: Skirted gaskets show you when everything’s correctly seated, reducing operator error.
Built-In Innovation
Banjo’s manifold flange connection system includes:
- Valves: offer quick installation and leak-resistant performance with an integrated flange design, available in manual or electric (on/off and regulating) models. Built from fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene with PTFE seats and stainless steel hardware, they’re ideal for modular systems needing durability, chemical resistance, and easy reconfiguration.
- Skirted Flange Gaskets: Precision-molded EPDM gaskets feature a skirted design that aligns perfectly with flange fittings and provides visible confirmation of proper installation. Also available in FKM for enhanced chemical and temperature resistance.
- Quick-Change Manifold Systems: Designed for speed and simplicity, Banjo’s manifold systems allow you to isolate and swap out individual components without disassembling the entire setup, ideal for fast fixes and flexible system redesigns.
- Heavy-Duty Clamps: Engineered for high-performance sealing, Banjo clamps secure manifold components with consistent pressure, ensuring durable, leak-free performance even in rugged field conditions.
Performance in the Field
- Agriculture: Planter fill stations and sprayer connections benefit from tool-free, fast-install setups. Reconfigure between crops or seasons with zero leaks.
- Industrial Applications: From pumps to flow meters and line strainers, maintenance becomes modular and fast. Downtime shrinks from hours to minutes.
- Chemical Handling: With aggressive liquid compatibility, EPDM and FKM gaskets maintain seal integrity even under harsh chemical loads.

Hear It From the Pros
“Banjo’s biggest innovation was when they came out with the flange fittings… it’s just light years ahead of where we were before. Eliminating leaks and being able to reconfigure things is so easy.” - Domestic Sales Manager, Hagie
“With a threaded system, I have to start at one end or the other and take parts apart until I get to the piece I need. As you can imagine, it takes a lot more time to mess with the threaded parts.” - Product Support, Equipment Technologies
