Sure, if they are copper. One of the nicest installations I've ever seen for an air system was all sweated (soldered) copper, with a couple of unions at strategic places to allow the copper pipe to be disassembled, should that be necessary.

On my compressed air plumbing pages I talk about this quite a bit. Copper is a great air line. No rust, little issues with maintenance, good burst resistance etc.

Cheers,

Bill
