Air compressor cooling lines.

Getting ready to fabricate a cooling line system for my air compressor, for air tools and parts painting. Will be using L type copper. My compressor is rated @ 175 PSI. Can I get by using regular solder, or will I need to have sections silver soldered? Thanks for all input.

My local plumber did mine, not sure what type it was but I think it was just regular as you would use on house pipes.

Regular 95/5 solider will work just fine. It will hold 200 psi without a problem. This is of course if it is soilder correctly.

OK, System has been in for about 3 years now, and have had no issues with leaks or joint separation. Used regular solder.
