I am sure I've wired Hubbell branded 230V 15A plugs (like the 110V one, 
but with the flat pins horizontal), along with line sockets for them. And 
I've certainly seen 110V versions that look to have come from the same 
company (white (nylon?) pin/socket assembles yhat fit into black plastic 
bodies and are held on by coase-pitch captive self-tapping screws, so I 
assumed those were Hubbell too.

They may not make wall-mounting socket outlets, but I would be _very_ 
suprised if they didn't make something that would take the normal 110V US 
plug.
