The 2X2A is an EHT half wave rectifier. The values given are for the 2X2 and we believe the 'A' variant to be the same.
The 2.5 volt heater indicates that it would be powered by a special heater winding of high insulation. Such a valve would have found application in oscilloscopes or in multiplier chains for higher voltages.
The classic envelope is 36 mm in diameter and, excluding the UX4 base pins, is 97 mm tall.
