Who It's For
A tall wall between two spaces—a double-height living room and a stair hall, say—can carry a vertical fire that both sides see. You need height. If you want a 30 5/8-inch-wide, 64 15/16-inch-tall see-through, the Tunnel 31H is the one.
What Makes It Special
The 31H tunnel keeps the 75x65's width and nearly triples the height, on the same 45 burner, so the effect is a column of fire seen from two rooms.
Nothing frames the opening but your own finish, and because of Ortal's passive cool wall, the wall above stays open for a TV or artwork. Expect it to warm roughly 750 to 1,450 square feet, our estimate from Ortal's gas input.
Choose between a protective mesh screen and double glass; the double glass uses quiet fans between the panes so the front stays cooler to the touch. Skip the lighting and use the screen, and batteries alone can run it—it still lights when the power is out. Pick a temperature on the remote that comes with it, and the fire turns itself up and down to hold it.
Possible Downsides
- The double-glass version needs household power and won't run during an outage.
- Its estimated warmth is the same as the 75x65; the height is for looks, so choose a linear tunnel for more reach.
- Natural gas is the factory setup; switching to propane means an Ortal conversion kit and an authorized technician.
If you want a tall column of fire both rooms can see, the Tunnel 31H is the right decision. The tall wall becomes the most striking thing in the house.
Choose a mesh screen or double glass and an included log set—standard, driftwood, clay, or English—or a bonfire, campfire, aspen, or branch upgrade.

Who pulls the permit?
We do, on every job, in every jurisdiction we serve—and we meet the inspector. It's built into the process, not an upsell.
Can you see the Ortal Tunnel TU 31H - 31x65 in a photo of your own room?

Phone photos are fine. It's a faithful preview, not an architectural drawing; sizing, venting, and trim get confirmed at the free in-home visit.
Is the online estimate real, or a rough guess?
Real, and honest about what it is: a price for the Ortal Tunnel TU 31H - 31x65 as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor, built from real Seattle installs. It is not binding. The free one-to-two-hour in-home visit checks your actual house before the price is final, and nothing is ordered until then.
Do you install and service the Ortal Tunnel TU 31H - 31x65 yourselves?
Yes, both. Our own in-house installers set the Ortal Tunnel TU 31H - 31x65, run the venting and the gas, pull the permit, and light the first fire before leaving. Afterward the service desk looks after every unit that came from Sutter, with factory-trained technicians and a real date when you call.
