PVC does not react chemically with concrete, but PVC has a very large dimensional change when the temperature changes , so pipes that are carrying warm water expand. There are products available to wrap pipes going through concrete so that they have room to expand and do not wear through from grinding back and forth against the concrete as they expand and shrink.
