I have a small room on our top floor (the only room on the top floor)
in my townhouse that we would like to close off and make a bedroom. If
we do close off the room, the only register would be located outside
the room. So, I have made a duct branch off the main supply on the top
floor. This main supply only serves the top floor registers. So, I
went into the attic, split the main duct and put in a TEE connection.
I have sealed the connections with special duct tape I got from the
hardware store. The hard part seems to be installing the register boot
in the ceiling. I have a 12'' X 4'' register cover and the same size
hole in my ceiling. I cannot seem to find a register boot that covers
this nicely at the local hardware store. So, any ideas on how to
properly install the register boot? Also, if I do find a register boot
to cover this, how should I seal it? Is this stuff available at local
hardware stores?

Sorry if my terminlogy is off, I am just learning this stuff.

I have been reading many posts in the group and have found this group
to be helpful, but have not found an answer to these particular
questions.

Any ideas?
