German term or phrase: PA
This abbreviation "PA" appears several times in a standard description of building and furnishings sheet with many HVAC and sanitary equipment terms:

"Schachtaustritt FC Büros inkl. Absperrungen und Isolierung DN32- Anschluss an bestehenden Steigstrang 2,00 PA"

It must be a measurement unit.

Any help appreciated!
