Bathroom inline extractor fan

Just use duct (duck) tape. No need to glue it.

I'm sure I read that duct tape, ironically shouldn't be used for sealing ductwork and the adhesive fails and causes leaks? What's the consensus on this?
 
Extractor ducting runs at low pressure, I don't see leakage as a problem. I suppose tape might prevent the joints coming apart.

The duct tape hasn't leaked on my loft and garage 4" and 6" ducting but only been in place for fifteen years, so probably a bit too soon to form a judgement.
