An injection molding apparatus (10) comprises at least one manifold and at least one injection molding nozzle (30), each nozzle (30) being affixable by means of a fastener (40) to the manifold (20). To allow rapid assembly and durable sealing of all nozzles at the manifold, the fastener (40) is fitted with at least one centering and/or fixating element (50) which is supported in longitudinally displaceable manner and which in its final-assembly position is engageable to the manifold (20) in a manner that said manifold and the nozzle (30) are secured into their relative position. The fastener (40) comprises at least one recess (41) receiving the nozzle (30) and at least one further recess (42) to receive the fixating element (50) which is supported in longitudinally displaceable manner in said further recess (42). Preferably the fixating element (50) is a fastening element for the fastener (40), in particular it is a part of a bolt connection (14).
