Disconnected heater duct

[Mbranscum]

Looked under the bed today and noticed one of the heater ducts is disconnected. Anyone know the best way to resecure it?

I think you just line up the cutouts and then give it a bit of a turn. If you are concerned about it coming loose again, apply some HVAC tape.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Or use a self tapping sheet metal screw.

Be careful with a screw as the heat exchanger is inside there and you don't want to punch a hole in that.

One 1/4" screw at about 2 o'clock in the image should be safe.
