Default Connecting ater heater to galvanized pipe with flex copper connectors

Do flex copper connectors act as dielectric connectors when used between
the galvanized nipples on the WH and galvanized house pipes?

Thx,

The connection may be self canceling electrolytically, but is not a
dielectric if metal to metal. A high line VOM can register a voltage
showing electrolytic activity if there is something happening.
Consider getting rid of your galvanized plumbing ASAP to avoid future
problems.
