Default Need a 120 volt relay

Since you only need 11 amps you can consider getting a two pole relay from
R/S with each pole rated for 10 amps. Wire the poles in parallel and you
have a 20 amp relay.


.... except that one side will invariably connect/open first, so that the
load won't be equally shared and it'll burn out faster than a device
that's designed for 20 amp service.
