pressure valve
Overpressure safety device
A pressure valve is a device that releases excess pressure from a container or system to prevent damage or explosion.
Pressure valves are essential safety features in boilers, pipelines, and pressurized tanks.
Figuratively, anything that provides relief from built-up tension: Exercise is my pressure valve after a stressful week.
