Supply Register in Basement
Question:
In my basement, I placed a second register in the supply duct with the hope that the addition would help warm the space. There is little to no air flowing out of this register compared to the one originally there. Why? Is it possible that this addition is to close to a boot running air to the second story?
Answer:
Did you connect the register to a main (rectangular) duct, or a (round) branch duct?
Question: I connected to the bottom of the main duct, just as the existing one had been. I did notice that there are 2 branch ducts just above where I connected.
Answer:
You're in an area where there's a lot of turbulence in the main duct. Here are two options:
1. Throttle one or both branch ducts (assuming you have the required "volume dampers" in the branches, adjacent to the mains, and that throttling one or both won't affect the rooms served).
2. Move the outlet and blank off the existing hole with "panning material" (try to move it closer to the unit)

I found this question on one of the Forum websites:
 I'm running into an issue where the register boot that I'm trying to connect into my trunk duct is too tall and sticks out past the sheetrock. Does anyone know if anyone makes a low profile boot or is there some other way to rig this? I only have about 4" between my main trunk line and the sheetrock so I need some way to connect my 4" hole that I drilled into my trunk, to the 10" x 4" register.
Here is a picture of what I have going on. I have cut a hole in the sheetrock for the register. I then cut a 4" hole in my main trunk.
The issue I'm having is that the distance between the trunk and the sheetrock is only about 4". All of the register boots that I have seen at Lowes and Home Depot are about 6" tall, meaning they stick out 2" past the sheetrock when installed.
So, as I understand this person is a die hard DIY-er. This is fine and I agree that it is ridicules to pay at least $65.00 for the job you are easily able to do by yourself. However, any even very simple job requires at least some kind of simple instructions; that is what this paid page is about.
