We installed a clipper creek HCS40 this weekend at a friend's house using 6/3+G romex. The CC unit connects to a steel junction box where the 6/3 comes from the panel about 4 feet away. The panel is mounted in a raised frame off the wall that is sheetrocked. We bored a hole in the bottom of the frame where the 6/3 goes behind the drywall for about a foot before entering the bottom of the panel. For the exposed part we ran the romex through about 5 feet of (edit) 3/4" carlon (1" OD). The total length of the # conductors is about 8 1/2 feet from the 40A breaker to the wire nuts in the junction box.
Now I'm seeing some things that you aren't supposed to run romex in conduit. I'm having a hard time seeing why this wouldn't be OK, but if it isn't we'll want to correct it.
