    308 or 316 SS would not. Most valves are that alloy. The weak link is black iron and you don't have that.

    I agree with ma. No need for dielectric unions on brass or copper to stainless. However, it really all comes down to what you are doing. Say you are installing a tankless water heater, and the install instructions call for a dielectric union. In this case you will want to install the specific type of union they call for to keep the warranty intact. Other than that, no worries.
