A runnerless nozzle for an injection molding apparatus includes a bracing component having an internal space and a lateral bore, a nozzle tip extending from the internal space through the lateral bore of the bracing component, and a securing component installable in the internal spaced of the bracing component. At least one of the bracing component and the securing component defines a lateral channel in communication with and upstream channel for delivering molding material to the nozzle tip. The securing component includes an angled surface for wedging a likewise angled surface of the nozzle tip to engage the nozzle tip with the bracing component when the securing component is installed in the bracing component.
