N2 - The Spollation Neutron Source (SNS) superconducting linac (SCL) consists of 11 medium beta (0.61) and 12 high beta (0.81) superconducting RF cryomodules, 32 intersegment quadrupole magnet/diagnostics stations, 9 spool beampipes for future upgrade cryomodules, and two differential pumping stations on either end of the SCL. The cryomodules and spool beampipes were designed and manufactured by Jefferson Laboratory, and the quadrupole magnets and beam position monitors were designed and furnished by Los Alamos National Laboratory. Remaining items were designed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. At present the SCL is being installed and tested. This paper discusses the experience gained during installation and the performance in terms of mechanical and cryogenic systems.
