I need to replace the three prong plug on my air compressor. Before I head to Ace, can anyone tell me what size/rating plug I need? Here is a picture of the compressor.

Much appreciated!

It says 15 amp but also says 2 hp. Normally, 2 hp motor would require
12 gauge wire, 20 amp plug and receptacle.
