Brass is conductive. It's an alloy of copper and zinc, both of which conduct electricity ( pure copper is better, though).

Can you use brass as a dialectric union between copper and black iron pipe?

No, brass cannot be used as a dielectric union between copper and black iron pipe. Dielectric unions are typically made of materials that are not electrically conductive, such as plastic or rubber. Brass is a conductive material and would not provide insulation against galvanic corrosion between copper and black iron pipe.
