Default Cap for plumbing stack

If it's just a plumbing vent stack, no cap is necessary. Is there
evidence of foreign matter(leaves 'n such) blocking it? I suppose you
could stick a gas vent cap on there if you wished. Tom

The plumbing stack sticks out 2' from my roof. It is a 4" iron pipe (OD
is 4.66"). That's all there is, just the pipe sticking out. What kind
of cap, if any, is appropriate for it? I can get a cap that is made for
appliance vents and is adjustable for 3-5" diameter. However this is
designed with an upward flow of combustion gases in mind. Thanks.
