How to convert a 240V AC outlet to 120V AC outlet

Hello all,

I need to replace the 240V outlet with 120V outlet. Give the outlet comes with two types, one is four-hole and the other is three-hole. Here is my plan, can someone double-check whether my plan is correct?

In the case of four-hole 240V receptacle with a four-wire circuit,
1> In receptacle side, connect white wire to neutral terminal(silver), black wire to hot terminal(brass), and connect green/bare wire to ground terminal(green). Finally wrap the red wire and do NOT use it.

2> In the power panel, replace the 240V 20amp breaker with 120V 15 amp breaker. Then connect white wire to neutral bar, black wire to hot bar, and green/bare wire to ground bar. Finally wrap the red wire and do NOT use it.

In the case of three-hole 240V receptacle with a three-wire circuit
1> In receptacle side, connect red wire to neutral terminal(silver), black wire to hot terminal(brass), and connect bare wire to ground terminal(green)

2> In the power panel, replace the 240V 20amp breaker with 120V 15 amp breaker. Then connect red wire to neutral bar, black wire to hot bar, and bare wire to ground bar.

Thank you
