release valve
Steam lets off
A release valve is a mechanism that lets pressure escape from a container or system when it builds too high, preventing rupture or explosion.
Figuratively, a release valve is anything that allows pent-up emotions or tension to dissipate safely: Exercise is my release valve after a stressful day at work.
Also called a pressure relief valve or safety valve.
