painting box in wooden pipes with emulsion

Do you mean painting the box, or painting the pipes? If the pipes are boxed in they are surely not visible, so why do you want to paint them? You can paint the box in emulsion as it is presumably ply, plasterboard or chipboard.
However, emulsion seems to discolour on (hot) pipes, you might do better with Satinwood which blends in quite well with silk emulsion. Or Eggshell if you have matt.

mmm emulsion on wood is not the best solution; try priming (oil based) and using egg shell, a supplier will mix u the same colour in it as ur walls.
