    As long as the wiring is good for 20A it’s fine. Also if you break open a 15A recepticle a lot of them have the 20A contacts in there as well since it’s the same unit just with a different face.

      Yeah, I wonder if anyone makes a UL listed 15A receptacle that don’t have a safety factor well over 20A.

      What it really comes down to though, is as long as code allows it, your ok.
