We are finishing our basement. Our home is 110 years old. The basement used to be dirt floor but in the 40's it got concreted. At some point a water closet existed because there is a toilet drain and sink drain and vent. We want to add a clawfoot tub a urinal, sink and toilet.There is no drain for the tub. I realize the floor will have to be cut to add the drain.

Here is a photo of the sink drain/vent tree. I am wondering if I can tie the urinal into this tree as well as the sink?

Would I cut the floor and tie the Tub drain into this drain? I don't know if the toilet uses the same vent as the sink did.
Another photo of a line in the floor that was capped off.

I wonder if it is a vent. I have put the garden hose in it and can see water running through the clean-out in the basement.
Or I could run my tub drain to the line that drains the upstairs bathroom and laundry room(below)

Any and all suggestions are welcomed. I am a fairly adept DIYer however I'm inexperienced with this type of plumbing.
