In my house attic i have several 4 inch white pvc vent stacks which are simply white pvc drain pipe extending from the wall headers through the attic and the roof. Then either glue in a proper 3 in to 4 in. I have two pvc pipes that come out of my attic furnace unit. The gray stuff is blown insulation.
