Take a look at the chart here:

I suspect that you've been looking at 6-20R without realizing what it was.

.
What i' saying is I've seen 520R wired for 220 volt. That may be in
violation of every code, but it still happens & more often than you
might imagine, especially in older buildings.

How do you plug a 120V fan (1-15P or 5-15P) into a 6-20R?
BTW, I notice how those charts always have a certain omission. What
does the 2-15P plug into?

I never suggested that the OP had a 6-20R. Do try to keep up.
