Mike,

Here's a full Metallic line of covers >> Red Dot

I like their deep in-use covers for covering those big twist-lock plugs when doing pools. And they seem like they will take more punishment than some of the hard plastic types.

Bill:
If it's a metal cover, how is it grounded???

I would ask the electrician to install a plastic cover (they are available), and inquire as to how he grounded it.
If it was not grounded, I would post a red sticker. (Based on this being a new install)
If it's existing, there isn't much that can be done.

I still believe the mfg intends that the cover be oriented correctly to prevent water entry. The gasket is held tight by the spring tension, but the gasket and spring do deteriorate over time.

Looks like a metal cover to me. It is grounded the same as any other metal cover, the attachment screws. How else would you do it?
