Are there specific material requirements for electrical outlet covers in commercial kitchens? I'm planning to specify nylon wall plates.

How about under the Type 1 ventilation hood (grease hood)? I'm planning to specify stainless covers for these outlets. Do special receptacles need to be installed in this location?

I have seen receptacle outlets in a restaurant kitchen that were packed with grease.
 
Would say cleanable.

Normally see metal, because of the abuse they take, same for under a hood
