I've got a Vokera Compact 24 on my bathroom wall that I'd like to box in. Anyone know if it's OK to build a cupboard around it with solid sides and a louvre door on the front (adhering to the manufacturer's minimum casing clearance recommendations)?
Cheers,
Alan.

I am sure it is.

My Corgi guy has signed off 3 boiler installations over the last couple of
years that included the boiler fitted inside a kitchen wall cabinet (with a
solid door, and the correct clearances). I did however leave the top of the
cabinet open, but I am not sure if that was a requirement (though I suspect
that it was).

It depends on the manufacturers! In the absence of data otherwise we are
looking at 75mm clearance all round and vents 9x(input kW) cm^2 top and
bottom.

For the Vokera compact 24 I suspect that the restrictions will be greatly
relaxed.
