  • coerce: to cause to do through pressure or necessity, by physical, moral or intellectual means :"She forced him to take a job in the city"; "He squeezed her for information"
  • the force applied to a unit area of surface; measured in pascals (SI unit) or in dynes (cgs unit); "the compressed gas exerts an increased pressure"
  • a force that compels; "the public brought pressure to bear on the government"
  • The continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it
    leaking
  • (leak) tell anonymously; "The news were leaked to the paper"

  • control consisting of a mechanical device for controlling the flow of a fluid
  • A cylindrical mechanism in a brass instrument that, when depressed or turned, admits air into different sections of tubing and so extends the range of available notes
  • A membranous fold in a hollow organ or tubular structure, such as a blood vessel or the digestive tract, that maintains the flow of the contents in one direction by closing in response to any pressure from reverse flow
  • a structure in a hollow organ (like the heart) with a flap to insure one-way flow of fluid through it
  • device in a brass wind instrument for varying the length of the air column to alter the pitch of a tone
    hot
  • used of physical heat; having a high or higher than desirable temperature or giving off heat or feeling or causing a sensation of heat or burning; "hot stove"; "hot water"; "a hot August day"; "a hot stuffy room"; "she's hot and tired"; "a hot forehead"

I think that the thermostat had failed because we turned the temp on the tank down way below the 120 degree mark the water out of the tap was EXTREMLEY Hot.
We had a small steady dripping leak for about 4-5 months ( no worries at the time, because a in floor drain was less than a foot from the tank. The tempature and pressure bypass valve had also failed it was frozen shut. I think that this what caused the final failure of the tank. A steady flow (like a bathroom faucet running) from the tank drain faucet at the base of the tank.
