Type of non-conductive media to be used between Stainless Steel and A36 Steel

We are modifying existing waste water filtration system with additional blowers. The piping of the blowers are used of Stainless Steel, which are supported using Stainless Steel pipe supports, and these supports are connected to the A36 Carbon Structural Steel. Do we need non-conductive media between stainless supports and the A36 structural steel to prevent galvanic corrosion? If it is required, please, recommend what to be used.

Thank you for the opportunity.

It makes no difference what the insulating material is as long as it breaks the metal to metal conductive path. Any plastic would do.
