I know that a dielelectric union is required when going from copper to black steel or galvanized steel but is one required going to Stainless Steel?

A customer wants full SS ball valves in his copper lines.

I don't know if it's required or not, but stainless steel will set up a galvanic cell with copper just like mild steel. I think it would be a good idea.
