Summary: 

This is a manual for FMC W11 triplex piston pumps. These pumps include a pinion drive 
for internal gear reduction; they have a stroke length of 2.75 inches, and maximum 
continuous duty power ratings ranging from 20 horsepower (15 kilowatts) for the W1118 
to 30 horsepower (22 kilowatts) for the W1122. The maximum intermittent duty rating is 
24 horsepower (18 kilowatts) for the W1118 to 36 horsepower (27 kilowatts) for the 
W1122. Refer to part numbe
