Hi
I’m a gas engineer, I just installed a boiler hot water works fine but the heating is not working ,not sure about the wiring i have a hive thermostat. I have removed the black loop wire . Would you able explain where do i need to connect the S/L. Please
Thanks

The Sime GIULIA COMBI 30 boiler allows heating control through a volt-free room thermostat. The Hive thermostat can be wired to the boiler's S/L (Switched Live) terminal as follows:
1. Turn off power – Isolate the boiler’s power supply. 2. Locate the wiring terminals – Refer to the boiler's wiring diagram for the correct S/L terminal. 3. Connect the Hive thermostat: - Remove the link between the boiler’s Live (L) and Switched Live (S/L). - Connect the Hive receiver’s Common (C) to the boiler’s Live (L). - Connect the Hive receiver’s Normally Open (NO) to the boiler’s Switched Live (S/L). 4. Power on and test – Restore power and check if the thermostat correctly controls the boiler.
Ensure compliance with wiring regulations and, if unsure, consult a qualified electrician or heating engineer.

10 APPENDIX 1 (GUIDANCE HHIC) Manufacturers Instructions Manufacturer’s instructions must be followed for the correct connection of the condensate discharge pipe from the boiler as this may vary due to the design of the boiler. For example a visible air break and trap is not required if there is a trap with a minimum condensate seal of 75 mm incorporated into the boiler.

Page 58
Internal Condensate Pipe Discharge Termination The possibility of waste pipes freezing downstream of the connection point should be considered when determining a suitable connection point - e.g. a slightly longer pipe run to an internal soil stack may be preferable to a shorter run connecting into a kitchen waste pipe discharging directly through the wall to an external drain.

External Connections External Connections pumped connection is impractical to install. The pipe work from the boiler should be of a minimum 19mm ID or as per manufacturer’s instructions and the condensate discharge pipe shall be run in a standard drainpipe material, e.g. poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), un-plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), acrylonitrile butadiene-styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP) or chlorinated poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-C).

External Connections Alternative Solutions Cold weather protection methods approved or endorsed by boiler manufacturers and/or service organisations may be adopted if these are considered suitable by the parties involved. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of these products to ensure they have completed the necessary testing or calculations to ensure the product offers suitable protection to prevent the condensate pipe from freezing.

External Connections External Termination of the Condensate Pipe Where the condensate discharge pipe is terminated over an open foul drain or gully, the pipe should terminate below the grating level, but above water level, in order to minimise “wind chill” at the open end.

The Sime GIULIA COMBI 30 boiler allows heating control through a volt-free room thermostat. The Hive thermostat can be wired to the boiler's S/L (Switched Live) terminal as follows:
1. Turn off power – Isolate the boiler’s power supply.
2. Locate the wiring terminals – Refer to the boiler's wiring diagram for the correct S/L terminal.
3. Connect the Hive thermostat:
- Remove the link between the boiler’s Live (L) and Switched Live (S/L).
- Connect the Hive receiver’s Common (C) to the boiler’s Live (L).
- Connect the Hive receiver’s Normally Open (NO) to the boiler’s Switched Live (S/L).
4. Power on and test – Restore power and check if the thermostat correctly controls the boiler.
Ensure compliance with wiring regulations and, if unsure, consult a qualified electrician or heating engineer.
