Same posted to heating forum, but I need more advices so..
I had to remove old in-wall heating duct because it was in the way when the window was moved location.
The only place I can think of re-routing the heating outlet is on the floor (basement under kitchen), but I don’t think heating vent on kitchen floor close to sink is a good idea, so I like to put it under cabinets and use toe-kick vent.
My question, what type of duct I need to use (flexible or rigid?) and How am I suppose to nail the duct to the back of toe-kick of base cabinet?
Advices are appreciated, thanks.

You'll need to use a rigid duct under the cabinet atleast. A 3 1/4" x 10 or something along those lines. You don't necessarliy need to connect into a boot but if you do I guess a 4x10 or a 2 1/4 x 12 depending on the finished height of the toe kick. Attaching them could be handled a few different ways. you could do like the hvac guys do and nail them right into the edges of the opening in the toe kick, or you could use some angle brackets to attach them to the floor under the cabinet.
