Stainless Steel vs Carbon Steel
While comparing ball valve options, it is important to assess industry and environment in which they will be used, as well as the factors that could affect their productivity:
Benefits of Stainless Steel Ball Valves
Corrosion resistant - Added chromium in these valves helps them to avoid damage from corrosion
Higher and wider working temperature range
Harder metal means they are more resilient to physical damage in tough environments
Longer life cycle - more costly up front, but often saves money over the long run.
Benefits of Carbon Steel Ball Valves
Carbon is more cost-efficient than stainless steel for smaller budgets.
These valves are better for shorter term installations where corrosion is less of an environmental factor
Carbon is much stronger than brass alternatives

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 solution.
