An electrician installed a NEMA 6-20 20A 230V outlet in a surface box for me in my garage, on a dedicated 20A breaker. He was even kind enough to follow code and run a neutral wire:

I would like to replace this outlet with a side-by-side single 6-20 and 5-15 duplex so the box can be used for either for 115V or 230V tools.

Legrand Pass Seymour makes a stainless plate like this:

Is that suitable for this style box? If so, how do I support the outlets? Or do I need to use a different style box?

Are there common terms for this style box and the style box I would need?

Thank you.
