I was chiseling out broken thread on old main vent riser and it fell into the pipe. About 3 or 4 fragments. Is this gonna lodge somewhere and clog system? Happened right before Hartford loop.

If you can't retrieve it easily I wouldn't worry about it. Or wait until summer to dismantle. I doubt it will cause a problem0
