I need to run an extension cord outside, so I am looking for a 100 to 150 foot SOOW extension cord. I can't find one, but I can find bulk SOOW cable. I need to run it to a standard 120v plug from a 20 amp generator. The generator has the standard 120v plug.

I can't find any plugs that are the standard 3 prong plugs unless it's 15 amps. Everything 20 and above has a different set up. Usually one pin is twisted on its side.

I have two questions. First, is a 20 amp plug (male and female) with the 3 prongs even made? Second, if I eventually find plugs or use the 15 amp plugs, is there anything special I have to do (like weather proof covers or anything) or and special SOOW plugs I have to use to stay in compliance?
