See this is what happens when I try to read in a hurry. I read it wrong (and wired it wrong in my install). Re reading it now I see that you all are correct and I would need an appropriately rated protective device between the higher rated circuit and lower rated outlet. I will be adding a 15A fuse in a 30A rated fuse holder to the line that feeds the outlet. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. To anyone reading this later nothing I have said earlier in this thread is correct.

To throw in another wrench into the works, if a receptacle is used, GFCI protection is required, since there are no exceptions to GFCI requirements when a receptacle is used.

That one I got right. It's a GFCI receptacle
