Pressure Release Valve for Towables? Anyone have any luck?

We have a couple of Airhead towables that are horse-shoe shaped, and have rather intricately-shaped bladders. On the lake, they need to be pumped up high to maintain enough pressure in the cold water. When you pull them out into the hot air, they immediately start to increase in pressure to the extent that the bladders can split at the seams. I try to remember to release the pressure every time, but I sometimes forget. I'm hoping there's some kind of valve that can be glued in, or put in-line with the Boston valve, that would release pressure if it gets about 3PSI or so. Has anyone found anything that works like this?

Thanks

I was waiting for someone to respond. I haven't seen anything like that myself either........

Lost two more yesterday. I spend more time patching them than towing them. This time it was the neighbor's kid. "I just kept pumping. I don't know what I was thinking."
