IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
High-Flow Efficiency for Every Acre

Agricultural operations can't afford downtime during planting or harvest windows. Our components are engineered to deliver maximum flow, seal tight under pressure, and hold up through years of field use.

Restricted Flow Choking Your Irrigation Output

The pain: Undersized or corroded valves create pressure drop across large irrigation runs, starving far-field sprinklers and reducing application uniformity, costing you yield and water.
The Alsco Advantage: Banjo full-port ball valves and high-flow manifold systems deliver unrestricted bore flow even in large-diameter lines, so pressure and volume reach the field's edge as designed, no sacrifices.
Relevant Products: Ball Valves • Manifold Valves • Centrifugal Pumps

Leaking Connections During Peak Irrigation Season

The pain: A failing fitting at the wrong time means emergency repairs mid-season, water waste, waterlogged fields, and the headache of shutting down an active system under pressure.
The Alsco Advantage: Glass-reinforced polypropylene fittings and Banjo's precision-molded pipe connections seat securely and resist creep, UV, and field abuse, so connections hold season after season without re-torquing.
Relevant Products: Banjo PP Fittings • Schedule 80 PVC • Cam & Groove

Blind Spots in Irrigation Water Volume & Flow Rate

The pain: Running irrigation without accurate flow data means over- or under-watering, inflated water costs, and the inability to prove regulatory compliance where metered usage is required.
The Alsco Advantage: Blue-White and GF Signet flow meters and sensors give you real-time, accurate measurement on main lines and zone feeds, so you apply exactly the water each area needs, when it needs it.
Relevant Products: Flow Meters • Flow Sensors • Level Sensors

Corroded Pipe Support Hardware on Irrigation Systems and Pump Stations

The pain: Steel strut channel and pipe clamps in outdoor agricultural environments corrode under sustained exposure to UV, weather cycling, fertilizer chemical fumes, and irrigation water splash. Corroded support hardware on mainline pump stations, manifold mounting structures, and equipment enclosures loses structural integrity over time and generates maintenance work that takes crews away from the field.
The Alsco Advantage: Fiberglass reinforced plastic strut channel and fiberglass pipe clamps provide the same structural support as steel in a material completely immune to the outdoor, chemically active conditions of agricultural environments, no rust, no coating failure, no structural degradation from UV or chemical exposure.
Relevant Products: Fiberglass Strut Channel, Clamps & Accessories

Banjo Manifold Systems: The Backbone of Modern Ag Irrigation

When you're moving water, fertilizer, or crop protection chemicals through multiple zones simultaneously, a well-designed manifold isn't optional, it's what keeps your operation synchronized and leak-free.

Banjo's polypropylene manifold fittings and flange systems are engineered specifically for the demands of agricultural liquid handling: broad chemical compatibility, high-flow bores, and rugged construction that handles UV exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and the vibration of field equipment.

Key Advantages:

  • Full-port design with no flow restriction at branch points
  • Glass-reinforced PP withstands fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides
  • Modular flange connections for fast field assembly and reconfiguration
  • In-line strainer ports protect downstream equipment from debris
  • Available in sizes to match any line from 1" to 4" mainlines

FERTILIZER & CHEMICAL APPLICATION
Handle Ag Chemicals Without Compromise

Fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and anhydrous ammonia are hard on standard plumbing. The right materials eliminate failure modes before they cost you a season or a regulatory fine.

Chemical Corrosion Destroying Valves & Fittings Prematurely

The pain: Standard brass or cast iron components corrode rapidly when exposed to liquid fertilizers, acidic adjuvants, and concentrated pesticide formulations, leading to leaks, contamination, and equipment failure in the field.
The Alsco Advantage: Banjo glass-reinforced polypropylene valves and fittings are chemically inert to the broad spectrum of agricultural chemicals, providing years of reliable service where metal fittings fail within a single season.
Relevant Products: Banjo PP Valves • Banjo Polypropylene Pipe Fittings • PVDF Fittings • Chemical Tubing

Chemical Spills During Tank Transfer & Coupling

The pain: Connecting and disconnecting chemical lines between nurse tanks and application equipment is one of the highest-risk moments in an Ag operation, spills mean product loss, worker exposure, environmental liability, and potential EPA violations.
The Alsco Advantage: Banjo DryMate dry-disconnect valves use a patented double-ball design that seals both halves of a connection the instant it's broken, virtually eliminating spills and protecting operators, equipment, and soil.
Relevant Products: DryMate Dry-Disconnect Valves • PP Cam & Groove Couplings

Nozzle & Equipment Damage from Debris in Chemical Lines

The pain: Sediment, rust, and particulate in liquid fertilizer or pesticide lines clog nozzles, damage pump seals, and reduce spray pattern accuracy, undermining application precision and driving up maintenance costs.
The Alsco Advantage: Banjo line strainers fit inline before pumps and nozzle booms to capture debris before it reaches sensitive equipment, protecting downstream components and keeping spray performance consistent across every pass.
Relevant Products: Line Strainers & Accessories • Banjo Products

WATER & NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
Precision Control from the Tank to the Field

Modern precision agriculture demands accurate, repeatable fluid control at every stage, from storage tanks to the last nozzle in the row.

Manual Valve Operation Slowing Field Changeovers

The pain: Hand-operated valves on large spray systems mean leaving the cab, walking lines, and slowing down zone changeovers, adding operator time and increasing the chance of human error during timed applications.
The Alsco Advantage: Banjo electric actuated ball valves and solenoid-controlled manifold systems let operators switch zones, shut off sections, or trigger flush cycles from the cab, cutting transition time and enabling zone-specific application rates.
Relevant Products: Actuated Valves • Solenoid Valves • Electric Manifold Valves

Inaccurate Fertilizer Application Rates Hurting ROI

The pain: Without calibrated flow measurement on injection lines, fertilizer rates drift over the course of a run, wasting expensive inputs on some areas while under-feeding others, reducing both yield potential and profitability.
The Alsco Advantage: GF Signet and Blue-White flow meters provide accurate, repeatable rate measurement on fertilizer injection and main supply lines, giving operators verified data for prescription application and record-keeping requirements.
Relevant Products: Flow Meters • Flow Sensors • Level Sensors

Pump Failure During Critical Application Windows

The pain: A pump that fails mid-application, whether transferring from a nurse tank, running a centrifugal irrigation loop, or dosing nutrients, can disrupt an entire field's program at the worst possible time.
The Alsco Advantage: Alsco stocks centrifugal, diaphragm, and solenoid diaphragm dosing pumps, including the Lutz MAGDOS Solenoid Diaphragm Dosing Pump for precise chemical metering, in chemical-compatible configurations ready for sprayer, irrigation, and fertigation duty, with same-day replacement shipping when you can't afford to wait.

Agricultural Liquid Handling FAQs

Q: Are Banjo polypropylene fittings compatible with liquid fertilizers and pesticides?
A: Yes. Banjo's glass-reinforced polypropylene is highly resistant to the wide range of liquid fertilizers (UAN, anhydrous, liquid phosphorus), herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides used in North American agriculture. For concentrated acids or specialty formulations, our team can verify chemical compatibility with your specific products before you order.

Q: What is a dry-disconnect valve and do I need one on my nurse tank setup?
A: A dry-disconnect valve, like Banjo's DryMate, uses a double-ball mechanism that seals both male and female halves of a coupling the instant they are separated. This virtually eliminates spills when connecting and disconnecting chemical transfer lines between nurse tanks and sprayers. They're strongly recommended anywhere you're handling concentrated fertilizers, pesticides, or any substance that poses environmental or regulatory risk if spilled. Many operations use them for EPA and insurance compliance as well.

Q: Can I get same-day shipping on replacement parts during planting or harvest season?
A: Yes. All in-stock orders placed by 2PM EST, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from our Atlanta-area warehouse. We maintain deep stock on high-demand Banjo valves, fittings, and pump components specifically because Ag emergencies don't follow business calendars.

Q: Is there a minimum order to purchase agricultural liquid handling components from Alsco?
A: No. There is no minimum order quantity or dollar minimum. A single Banjo ball valve, a single cam and groove coupling, or a single manifold fitting ships the same day on the same terms as a production-volume purchase. For farmers, Ag retailers, custom applicators, and OEM builders who need specific components without committing to case quantities, same-day fulfillment with no minimum means you get exactly what the job requires.

Q: Do you offer components for automated/precision ag and variable-rate application systems?
A: Absolutely. We stock Banjo electric actuated ball valves and solenoid-operated manifold valve banks that integrate with common precision Ag controllers and section control systems. Combined with GF Signet or Blue-White flow meters for real-time rate feedback, these components form the hardware backbone of variable-rate irrigation and application systems. Contact our sales team for help specifying a setup compatible with your existing controller.

Q: What materials are best for irrigation systems in high-UV, outdoor environments?
A: For outdoor agricultural exposure, glass-reinforced polypropylene (as used in Banjo fittings and valves) offers excellent UV resistance and chemical compatibility, significantly outperforming standard PVC in direct sunlight over time. For buried lines or permanent installations, Schedule 40 and 80 PVC pipe remain the cost-effective standard. We carry both, and our team can help you select the right material spec for your system's service conditions.

Q: Do you support OEM sprayer manufacturers with bulk orders and custom manifold configurations?
A: Yes. OEM and large-volume support is one of our specialties. As a Platinum Banjo distributor, we can provide consistent supply of manifold components, valve banks, and plumbing kits for production runs. We also work with OEMs on special project inquiries where non-standard configurations or specific material certifications are required. Reach out to our sales team to discuss your production needs.
