  • Publication number: 20210017942
    Abstract: A plastic injection rail, subjected to an inner relative pressure for an engine, includes: a conduit body; a plug; and a junction part overmolded within a contact area defined by portions of the plug and the end of the conduit body. The junction part can fixedly attach the plug into the end of the body, and includes a first portion arranged around the contact area, and a second portion within a space between the conduit body and plug. The plug has a hollow projection that extends toward the plug head. The plug body includes hollow rings including a primary ring arranged at the level of the free end of the plug body and secondary rings arranged between the primary ring and plug head. The junction part presents a generally cylindrical shape formed by rings including a primary ring closest to the contact area, and secondary rings.
