Steve,
My vent system on the stretch is made out of type L copper tubing that
has soldered together using copper fittings. You can get it at any
big box store.

You could jump up to 3/4" if you wanted a bigger line.
If you think that you need to add protection for the copper tubing
just use undercoating spray on it.
