Hello NEC Experts,
I'm changing all the device plates in my home to nonmetallic types. Will this violate any Code requirements?

Answer:
Hello Tammy,
Changing the plates from metallic to nonmetallic will not violate any Code rules, but be sure that the replacement plates provide the covering feature required for indoor and outdoor locations. For example, an outdoor location receptacle cover, if of nonmetallic material, would need to be suitable for those locations.
