Abstract: A valve for use in filling containers includes a valve flange, nozzle assembly and valve sleeve. The valve flange defines a first through passage. The nozzle assembly includes a liquid fill outlet and air vent outlet below the valve flange. The valve sleeve defines a second through passage and is movable between a lowered valve closed position and a raised valve open position. The valve sleeve including a first portion positioned for sliding movement within the first through passage and a second portion positioned below the valve flange and configured for sealingly closing both the liquid fill outlet and the air vent outlet when the valve sleeve is in the lowered valve closed position. The valve sleeve has a weight sufficient to cause the valve sleeve to move downward from the raised valve open position to the lowered valve closed position.
