If you mean the pointy bit at the left, I suspect it would be, on the real one, an adjusting mechanism: the input pressure has to be great enough to overcome the pressure in the boiler. I don’t have my reference books at hand, so am unsure.
An injector will have several pipes connected to it: a water pipe from the tender, a water pipe to the check valve, an overflow pipe (usually to the track), a steam line (from the turret), and an operating rod(s) (to the cab).
