A manifold plug for a hot runner manifold for an injection molding system has a generally circular shaped outer surface in which is disposed a channel extending along at least an arc of the generally circular shaped outer surface of the manifold plug. The manifold plug is configured for insertion into a generally circular shaped opening in the hot runner manifold and serves to fluidly interconnect at least first and second hot runner passageways which are otherwise unconnected and which terminate in the generally circular opening in the hot runner manifold. The channel in the generally circular shaped outer surface of the manifold plug is configured for fluidly connecting at least first and second unconnected resin passageways. The channel in the generally circular shaped outer surface of the manifold plug is configured for at least partially forming a resin passageway having a size and shape to allow for generally the same volume of resin to flow in the resin passageway as a pre-determined volume of resin carried by the hot runner manifold.
