Overview:
This Installation Checklist document is required to be completed by the Customer and reviewed by Nel
Hydrogen US prior to scheduling a commissioning visit by Nel Hydrogen US or its qualified representatives.
This checklist intends to document the customer’s site installation and site representative review of the
installation. Installation reference information to assist with this checklist can be found in the Installation
and Operations Manual, PD-0100-0040. Sections from the manual are referenced below to assist in the
installation process.

In addition to this Installation Checklist, a SITE SAFETY AND HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT SURVEY (Form:
OFM1005) must be completed and forwarded to Nel Hydrogen US for review prior to scheduling Nel
Hydrogen US representative work activities. OFM1005 and this form shall be forwarded to the email address
noted at the end of the checklist.

Mechanical Interfaces
Hydrogen Vent System (Manual Section “H2 Relief Port Interface”)
YES NO
Customer hydrogen vent line routed to safe location away from air
intakes, sources of ignition, personnel, and other potential sources of
hazard in accordance with installation manual.
Customer hydrogen vent system constructed of non-combustible
materials, compatible with hydrogen
Customer condensate drain from customer’s vent system is routed
separately to an air-gapped gravity drain, away from potential sources
of ignition or potential hazard to personnel.
Customer Vent System may be exposed to Freezing Conditions (0°C or
32°F):
If exposed to freezing conditions, the vent line is heat traced to ensure
the line does NOT freeze and obstruct the hydrogen vent.
Customer Vent System has been reviewed by appropriate AHJ and
deemed to NOT impart a back pressure of greater than 0.8 psig at the
hydrogen generator interface at flow rates of 3 times the hydrogen
generator production rate.*

* If the hydrogen generator may be upgraded to a higher production

rate in the future. It is recommended that the future higher
production rate be considered in the vent system design.

Customer Vent system pressure and leak checked to local or national

standard.
Any leaks noted?
Any leaks corrected and verified fixed?
Test Pressure (include Pressure value and units)
