For the European XFEL accelerator vacuum about 1,5 km of vacuum system have been assembled with procedures that result in a low particulate contamination inside of the vacuum components. For this mechanical design aspects as well as cleaning and installation procedures needed to be adapted to a large variety of beam line components. An example is the development of dedicated clean rooms for the installation of components in the accelerator tunnel.
The experience with the installation is presented as well as preliminary results from the commisioning of the accelerator. An initial correlation of difficulties observed during the installation process with performance of modules will be discussed.
