So the Nema 6-20 is what you want. Can you order that on line and pick it up at the store? But Amazon has a few different brands. You might also check Lowes, although my local store doesn't have them. Otherwise, it might take an electrical supply.
Edit in: I was in my Lowes this morning, and they did indeed have that exact plug you linked at HD, for the same price. If you have one nearby you might take a look. Curious, the website showed it not stocked at my store.

Last in line
Just a plug for the Pass and Seymour plug (heh)
I recently made up a couple of 240v 12 amp extension cords and used P&S plugs. They are NICE. Instead of wrapping a screw like the cheaper plugs and sockets, P&S has wire clamp recesses making assembly much easier. They seem to be built and designed better too. This is compared to the ones on sale at about half the price. You'll pay more but I think it's a near lifetime plug for normal use.

Ok gents,
Before I went to the Home Depot near where I work I took the time to look on their website and copy down all the necessary information. Armed with this list I was able to find the two plugs I needed and was out in 15 minutes. God I love the Internet!!!
Here are the part numbers
- Pass & Seymour NEMA 6-20P 20 Amp 250 Volt Plug, Model#: PS5466XCCV4, Internet #:202664477, Store SKU #:571800, $9.99
- Pass & Seymour NEMA 6-20R Extra Hard Use Connector, 20 Amp 250 Volt, Model#: PS5469XCCV4, Internet #:100202254, Store SKU #:571865, $15.49
Now if you are wondering WHY I went through all this trouble its because I wanted to build a drop in place box that I could just plug and play. Of course, I still need to bypass the DC's magnetic switch. But that's not a huge deal.

All DONE!!!
I rewired the grounds and included a lug to the chassis.
Then I installed the plugs I purchased this afternoon and mounted the entire assembly to a piece of plywood. That was attached to the studs above the DC.
I fired it up tonight and it worked GREAT! I didn't bother to bypass the DC switch just yet. I tried it with the switch in the ON position and it worked.
It was getting late (and COLD!) out in the shop so I called it a night. I will take some final photos tomorrow. Thanks to all who helped me out on this. Special thanks to Fred for the inspiration

FINALLY! darn........

If you did it with the switch in the ON position and it worked then I don't think that you have a magnetic switch. If I remember correctly you have the Reliant 3HP DC, right? If so then it is not a magnetic switch, I believe.

Fred,
How necessary is it to bypass the switch on the DC? Like I said in my thread above I was going to do it but decided to see if it would work with just placing the DC switch in the ON position and leaving it there.

Hah, you beat me to the punch Ken!
I was just typing this question out to Fred. And you are correct. I have a Reliant 3HP DC.

Yep. If it's not a magnetic switch, then just leave it on.
