Hi all, is it possible to use duct tape to join two lengths of duct together.

I would but dont know if it is okay. Certainly a short term fix as long as no fumes can enter your caravan.

Be aware that the ducting can get to in excess of 90c, I don't think the tape would hold up to that.
A friend of mine tried white poly irrigation type 45degree bends in the ducting but they couldn't take the heat.

Gday...
Rather than duct tape ... give some thought to Tommy Tape here.
Works in extreme temperatures - Can operate in temperature ranges from -65°F to +500°F.
I use Tommy Tape and a couple of the 'copy products' regularly - I no longer use duct tape or electrical tape as this tape has many applications that other media cannot work in.
Cheers - John

I'm a fan of Tommy Tape too & these days find myself using it in preference to electrical tape.
I have a couple of rolls in my Van's bits & pieces container along with Gorilla Glue, another fantastic product.

You can buy proper heat resistant foil "Duct" tape from Office works but it is not cheap at $20 a 50M roll. Can handle up to 110C which should be enough.

Joining sleeves are available from your supplier. That's a thing stainless sleeve and two hose clamps. And yes the exhaust can get bloody hot.
Funny how a question can be taken the wrong way. If its the heated air ducting, I can see no problem with using tape.

The warm air (Heater) outlet is not the exhaust (Burnt gas ) outlet. They are 2 totally different outlets.
