Usually, yes. The BC20 range is designed around a back-bar / undercounter footprint, but you should verify fit before ordering because the details that cause problems are rarely the “headline” width:

Measure the opening height and depth and confirm the unit’s external dimensions for the exact variant.

Allow ventilation space so it can breathe. A tight, sealed cavity can cause poor pull-down and higher energy use.

Plan for access: can you get it through doors, around corners, and behind the bar?

Choose the right door style for your bar:

Sliding (BC20SBE) is best where aisle space is tight and you cannot tolerate door swing.

Hinged (BC20HBE/BC20HSE) can be quicker to load and can give wider access per door, but you need clearance for the swing.

If you are building the unit into joinery, treat it as freestanding with ventilation unless the manufacturer’s installation guidance explicitly permits built-in installation.
