Pulling House AC power through conduit likely subjects you to code
requirements, like burial of at least 18 inches. If this is not “house
power” you should be good.

In general, mains power wiring MUST be in its own conduit, separate from non-power wiring (generally called "low voltage wiring". In other words, if you need to run mains power and coax/control cables to your tower in conduit, you must have two conduit runs, one for power and one for RF and rotator.

I don't have much experience pulling cable into conduit, but I've heard that some (all?) pulling juice can turn into glue as it dries. I'd get advice from electricians who do this all the time on this before using any pulling lubricant.
