All that BRS video did was prove that two 45s glued together acted the same as a 90 which isn't surprising. They didn't test if you have a gap between the 45s which I think would make a difference. The biggest difference though is pipe diameter.

Great info people!

So should I be looking at 3 Lines?
1 1.5" for herbie drain.
1 1.5" for emergency drain.
1 1" for return line?

That will be just fine. You could also do a 3/4 for the return.

I always have a good chuckle when hobbyists debate flow through different fittings. It's a plumber thing.
