Heating ducting issue

[Spade]

Hi
This is a picture of my heating ducting. As you can see the ducting has come out of the outlet. It falls out when I push it back in. The space to work in, is only the width of my hand so I can't tape it in place.
Any suggestions to secure it would be greatly appreciated
Edit to add this is inside and left of the cassette door so access is very poor

Couple of drops of superglue ? Just enough to hold it in.

The normal way they are held in place is a small self tapping screw through the plastic fitting after ensuring the flexy is pushed all the way into it.

Can you get some double side tape on the end?

 

[RandallC]

Smears of silicon sealant then push it home

The outlet looks like it has been rotated out of alignment with the ducting.

2 things. That stuff does expand a little when pulled.

I would be tempted to look at the alignment as Pausim suggested.
I would then pull the ducting towards yourself and then try to stretch it a little (carefully)

The combination of the two should be enough for it to stay in possibly?

Looks like there is a hole from a screw on the duct. Maybe pre-drill a small hole in the plastic openong, then push in the duct holding it in place amd with other hand, screw small screw into duct.

Alternatively you could extend it a little using one of these.

Basically cut the duct half way down, insert this straight through and reattach. If this doesn't give you enough buy another length to extend it so it loops in nicely.

A long thin nail dropped in from the top and existing underneath would do the same thing.

I would pull it up towards yourself and stretch it a little then put it back in the duct. If you can insert a small screw through the duct that would secure it forever.

How many funsters does it take to screw in a light bulb.
One to screw it in and a dozen to suggest different ways.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
I eventually got a second pair of hands to help me.
We disassembled the outlet from both sides The outlet wasn't a 90 degree as you'd imagine but was more like a inline T with a cap on one end so couldn't be rotated anymore as the cap end was touching the underside of the sink unit.
We drilled a small hole in it and reassembled.
We pushed in the ducting into it and poked a small hole in the ducting with a panel pin. We then got a self tapper in.
That was only possible using a 90 degree drive attachment with Phillips bit that I added an extension bar to and turned by hand,that I had picked as part of a set in the Lidl middle aisle!
Couldn't have done it without your help!
Thanks again to all.

One might not want it secured 'forever'?

You could replace that with a 90° then? But sounds like you are happy as it stands. Nice one

You could use something like this to grip it
I had great fun doing mine when i first had the van as a few were disconnected
i had to get creative

RabdallC is right
Small dab of Silicone Sealant. Simple, fast and effective fix

RabdallC is right
Small dab of Silicone Sealant. Simple, fast and effective fix

But not easy to remove if needed and more silicone needed when refitting

Is there any way to give this a DoubleSmiley ?
