NEMA 14-30R (not 14-30P) to TT-30R?
My garage currently has a 14-30R (not 14-30P) 125/250V receptacle. Is it possible to rewire this to a TT-30R 125V receptacle? I can't seem to find an adapter anywhere.

Go to Circuit Breaker Panel and locate the 30A double pole CB that the 14-30R is fed from.
Turn it off.
Disconnect load side wires from CB.
Remove CB and replace with a 30A single pole circuit breaker.
Wire nut one of the hot legs and wrap with electrician tape......connect other lead to new CB. (leave CB OFF)
Remove 14-30R receptacle....disconnect all wires
Connect the 1 hot leg, 1 neutral and 1 ground wire to new TT-30 receptacle and then install it in outlet box.
Turn on new 30A single pole CB and test voltage readings on new TT-30 receptacle.
