You don't even have a problem... just get an adapter plug and plug in, or save some $$ and make your own, go to Home Depot or wherever. They sell short heavy lengths of nice 12-guage 3-conductor wire, with the 20-amp household-style plug already on one end, as power-tool replacement cords. Get an inline style female receptacle that fits your UPC and put it on.

Or just cut the plug off your UPC and replace it with a standard household-style plug. Before anyone says "Oh nom that big plug was on there for a reason, don't do that!", remember, it's about to get plugged in through one anyway, and the fewer plugs it goes through, the better.
