OK, found it based on that article.

For the archives--

The screw points towards the boilers, and is all brass with a brass locknut.  
The locknut is 14mm, the adjuster screw is 10mm.  Clockwise/tighter gives more 
pressure, counter-clockwise/looser gives less pressure.  About 1/4 turn is 
about 1/2 bar.  You can just get a box end wrench or small socket on the 
adjuster.

With the pump running, I was able to quickly set the pump to 9 bar with a blind 
pf, then I opened the OPV until water was flowing from the drain tube into the 
drip tray.  I then slowly closed the OPV until the water stopped flowing, and 
then closed the OPV another 1/2 turn.  This seems like it will give some 
protection for the boiler lines, i.e. OPV should open just above 9 bar should 
the pump ever malfunction.

Thanks again Ira.
