The Mauler valve, is a consumer available barrel sealing valve for the use in pneumatic launchers. This valve has been designed by Sean Gort, and is offered for sale at [http://www.launchpotatoes.com/ Launch Potatoes].

A single, independent testing found that the Mauler valve yields superior muzzle velocity, to that of the [[Supah-Valve]]. (The Supah-Valve having a reputation of being built professionally, and also yielding results of such a degree.) The tests were conducted by John Shell, who also manages a purely informatory site, [http://neospud.com/ NeoSpud]. A [[shooting chronograph]] was used to return muzzle velocity data.

The Mauler valve is unique in that it utilizes modified PVC pipe, and fittings. In contrast the [[Supah-Valve]] has machined PVC bar stock for the internal components. Both valves use a lathe to modify the components found in the valve. The Mauler using a wood [[lathe]], and the [[Supah-Valve]] using a metal [[lathe]]. The difference between the wood, and metal lathe is how the tooling is controlled. On a metal lathe, the tooling is fixed in a mechanism, then moved along linear axises. With a wood lathe the tooling is held in the operators hands, steadied by a tool rest.

It is disputed that the name is not that of the creator, Sean Gort. As formally a hand held hybrid launcher was also named the Mauler.
