I'd recommend food grade silicon grease, available at any decent dive shop. I use it to lubricate O-rings and zippers all the time. A light coating once you've cleaned up the fitting should do a good job protecting the brass. I coat my dive knife a couple of times a season, just put on, then lightly wipe off leaving a thin coating behind (too thick attracts grit and dirt).
