What happens here

Today, the price dynamics can be different. The electrician advises that unless a project's specifications (specs) explicitly require one type over the other, either steel or die-cast aluminum connectors can be used. He recommends asking the supply house what is currently cheaper, as prices fluctuate based on the global commodity market. This flexible approach allows for cost savings on materials.

Goal: Adopt a strategy for choosing EMT connectors based on current market prices and project specifications.

So, unless it's spec'd, you could use either one. So, now actually I'll ask, "Hey, what's cheaper? Die-cast or steel?" And that's what I'll get. Oh, okay. >> It all depends on what's going on in the in the commodity market. See, as a new guy, I wouldn't even know that. I'd just go to the supply house and be like, "Hey, can I just get some connectors?" Right. Well, that's why you watch our channel so that you can learn. Oh, yeah,
