I have a HPWC gathering dust (gifted to me from the guy who's referral I used). Figured I minus whale put it to good use. Here's my conundrum. My OCD won't allow conduit to be visible in my garage, which would allow a top entry into the HPWC. I'll be feeding the #6 from the attic thru the header and down thru the assumed 2x4 studs/drywall. I'm okay with having to bust up the drywall to be able to attach the 1" conduit to studs.
My concern is the turn in the #6 from vertical to horizontal to go to the rear of the HPWC. Can I terminate the conduit in a junction box that rests behind the drywall and then just try the gentlest of bends to get the #6 L1/L2 terminations on the HPWC?
I need to figure out what permits/inspections will be required if I wanna follow the letter of the law. Granted, I'm not an electrician but this isn't rocket science and I'm really not looking forward to paying the Tesla Tax. Especially for my case which would require a 'hidden' run. I doubt many electricians would wanna deal with someone as picky as me. Guess I could do all the work, leave the drywall unattached and see what an electrician would cost to double check my work. Hmm
