No. You need to obtain a cord with 3C #10 wires in it. #10 wire is rated for 30 amps. You will probably not be able to pick this size wire up at a DYI store. Ask an electrician to order you some from the electrical wholesalers.

This is a tricky part of the code about receptacle outlets, You can use a 15 amp duplex outlet on a 20 amp circuit. (duplex outlet two devices can plug in) If it is a single outlet then the outlet must be rated 20 amp. NEC table210.21(B)(3). ============ A 15 amp duplex receptacle can be wired to a 20 amp rated circuit. This means the breaker OR fuse protecting the circuit can be rated 20 amps if the wire is also rated at 20 amps (12 AWG). --Sparkfighter
