That's not a 220V pattern -- that's 120V 20A.

Perhaps, but I've seen it wires as 220v more than once where a window

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


How do you plug a 120V fan (1-15P or 5-15P) into a 6-20R?


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