In heating, restrictions do not mean a whole lot, during heating the fan is run on medium speed unless heat source is a heat pump. Air conditioning and using heat pumps is where too much restrictions can cause problems. Coil flanges will make no difference in the operation of the original equipment, they wont cause enough restriction. HVAC systems should be designed off the cooling load. Its easier to heat a home than it is to cool it.

thats all good with gas and oil but electric air handlers with heat strips if you stick a water/air coil in the supply air it will burn the heat strips up from to much restriction and turbulence........i always put the coil in the return.....

i took a pic of the tee setup......i took a 3/4" brass plug and drilled a 3/8" OD hole in it and silver solder a 12" 3/8" copper pipe to the brass plug and sealed the end......as in the pic you can see the probe from the aqua stat in it......it will sense the water temp when the pump pulls the hot water to the bottom of the tank and push's the cold the threw the HX and dumps the hot in the top of the tank.....

btw....this is in the 10th year runnin' with no parts replaced(knock on wood!!!!)

if you want true control of your water heater with a OWB it needs a stat.....i use a plate heat exchanger,007 bronze pump,aqua-stat and a zone valve.....you pull water from the bottom of the tank threw the plate and in to where the TRV goes.........there is a well in the tee setup in the drain port to where your aqua-stat probe goes and when you set the stat for 120 you get 120 no guess work..........side arms should not be aloud to be sold!!! ......worked on and replaced tons of  mixing valves in schools and other places(pipefitter for 20+ years) as when they fail you get burned!!!....so when i started sellin' OWB i came up with a better and no way to get burned......here is a pic of mine...hard to see all of it....
