with what look like Haines traps- yes, it's a Vapor system. Unfortunately they didn't get to the basement:

    Those 'Urban Explorer' videos (at least the ones I have watched) never really focus on the heating systems and I rarely see the basements or a boiler.

    To be fair pretty much nobody even thinks about a heating system until it stops working 😥 an entire industry that changed the course of history and the history books even ignore it.
