When using larger PVC EMT (now that's an oxymoron!) be advised that you need
to keep your joints going in "one direction". That is, have all the "bell"
ends facing the same way. I've seen people use couplers and mix the
direction. When all the "bells" face the same way you will find that it is
easier to pull in one direction (feed from the "bell" end and pull from the
none "bell" end). The "step" of the plain end in the bell can catch the coax
bundle if you pull from the other direction.

I used 3 inch sch 40. I had a electrical pull snake for pulling coax and
control lines down 150 feet of conduit without any trouble - not even pull
soap was required.

I use 4" French drain line surrounded by gravel to let the moisture out.
I cannot imagine being able to slide coax 160 feet in 2 inch conduit. That
would be tough. I've built 5 towers all in excess of 180 feet from the
house and always used 4" and it's hard enough.
