<p>A guide (70) for a manifold plug (40) of an injection molding apparatus comprises a guide body (70) projecting from an inner wall of the manifold plug (40) diametrically opposing an inlet (14) of a manifold plug channel (12) formed in the manifold plug.(40). The inlet (14) is aligned with a manifold channel of a manifold. The outlet (16) of the manifold plug channel (12) is aligned with a nozzle channel of a nozzle. The inlet (14) is at an angle to the outlet (16). A guide surface is provided on the guide body (70)for abutting a downstream portion of a valve pin (26) extending into the manifold plug channel. The guide (70) also facilitates flow of a melt stream of moldable material through the manifold plug channel (12).</p> |
