Duct tape is the best thing to use, by far. Its long lasting, water resistant, heat resistant, and it retains its stickyness if you take it apart and rewrap it.

I use it...only have 2 spots though. Using the pipes that you have you can also use an aluminum tape. Sell it at parts stores.

Aluminum tape is no better and is 15 bucks a roll, duct tape is 2.50 a roll and will work just as well. Duct tape is made for taping ductwork, exactly what your using it for. It works something awesome.
