A number of heated injection molding nozzles are mounted along the side surface of a melt conveying manifold. In one embodiment of the invention, a connector collar having a tapered flange portion is bolted to the side surface of the manifold to provide each melt bore outlet. Each nozzle has a matching flange portion with a melt bore inlet extending laterally from a side surface. The nozzle is mounted on the manifold by securing the flange portions together by bolting a wedge clamp having two halves over the aligned flange portions. This accurately aligns the inlet with the outlet and allows the nozzle to be rotated to a particular angular position. In another embodiment, a melt conduit member is mounted between the manifold and each nozzle. The melt conduit member is clamped to the manifold after being rotated to a desired angular position about a first axis. A nozzle is clamped to the melt conduit member after being rotated to a desired angular position about a second axis which is substantially perpendicular to the first axis. Thus, each nozzle can be located with any desired angular orientation without the melt flowing through an acute angle bend.
