| I heard that pvc has a bad reaction when it comes into contact with
concrete. I have googled it and cannot find anything of value. So I
have a couple questions.
1. Is it true?
2. If I used concrete to hold pvc in place, about how long do I have
before I have to replace the pipe.
TIA

I have never seen a problem. That doesn't mean there isn't one.
I just have never seen it.
I have seen problems with excessive exposure to chlorine (it swells) and
excessive exposure to UV (it shrinks and becomes brittle)
