He already said he needs 240v out of the circuit as well which means he needs to leave the circuit intact until the 240v outlet. Then he has to have a breaker in line to protect the 120v circuit (wire and device which I assume will be a duplex receptacle). The box is going to have to be located to meet NEC/Local code for access. Whatever is plugged into the 120v circuit is going to have to not run afoul of code for appliances required to be on their own circuit.

Is there a reason you aren't just tapping into a current 120v circuit? If you have a 3 conductor plus ground 240v circuit, the newer the home the more likely, you can do what you are talking about (aside from issues of what you want to plug in* and current protection) but unless it is an unusual area you might better going off a current 120v circuit or pulling a new circuit.
