I assume that you're referring to a water heater T&P relief valve, Correct? With no thing to go on it's going to be hard to answer your question.
1) is it a water heater that's the problem?
2) gas or electric?
3) is the blow off water boiling hot?
4) "Extreme Pressure"! You mean it's higher then house pressure? How much higher?
