(Like you need a non-conducting separator when you connect a copper pipe to a steel pipe)
IIRC, there is some chemistry going on between the copper (in the brass) and the iron (in the steel)

--- End quote ---
A smear of grease is a much better idea than adding a shim.

Will B:
I use paraffin wax between the sleeves.

Pat B:
I don't think I'd use anything thick like paraffin wax. Maybe a light machine oil would be better.

Will B:
I will try a light oil on this one Pat. The wax works okay but is pretty thick.
