Stainless Steel vs Carbon Steel
While comparing ball valve options, look at the industry and environment which you will be using Mako Products’ exclusive ball valves and examine the factors that could affect their productivity:
Benefits of Stainless Steel Ball Valves
- Corrosion resistant – added chromium which carbon does not have enough of
- Higher and wider working temperature range
- Not going to take damage like brass will
- Longer life cycle – more costly but possibly save money over time
Benefits of Carbon Steel Ball Valves
- Mix of Iron and Carbon
- More cost-efficient than stainless steel for tight budget
- Carbon steel is more likely to rust than stainless steel – which results in shorter replacement periods
- Can be used in areas where pressure and temperature make other materials unusable
Locking Handles
Locking Handle ball valve options offered by Mako Products Include:
- 2006HLS series
- 2006HLC series
- 2017KS series
- 3600S series
- 6000S series
Isolator Valves
Mako isolator valves provide a rational flow system. They are typical maintenance and safety purpose valves to be used in applications where they’re generally left open so the handler can control flow when needed.
Common Isolator Valve Applications
- Pipeline Safety Systems
- Residential Plumbing Systems
- Oil and Gas Wells
- Firewater Control
After considering the benefits and options available, we are confident you will find that ball valves supplied by Mako Products will increase your fluid or gas flow efficiencies, work harder under harsh temperature and environmental conditions, have a longer life cycle, and be an overall cost-saving solutio
