An improved filling valve specially configured for attachment onto a conventional, high speed liquid filling machine that is typically utilized in food product container packaging lines to quickly fill large numbers of containers, such as bottles or cans. A filler valve has several improvements that result in greater reliability in operation, increased operational speed, and easier adjustment in operational parameters. The filler valve including a manifold (15) that receives a manifold insert and a spring nut (100) that abuts to a slider. The slider is the only moving part of the filler valve. A filler stem (60) is received through the slider and attaches to the manifold. For filling, the top opening of a bottle is placed against a spanner nut (105) and the manifold lowered, thereby compressing the slider into the manifold to insert the stem into the container. A liquid is then injected into the container, while displaced air is exhausted into the co-axial annular space (26) between the stem and the slider. The stem also preferably contains four outlet ports (70).
