A slim, upright see-through fire between two small rooms.

Who It's For
A primary bedroom and its bath, or a study and a hallway, often share a short wall. A fire there should show on both sides, and it has to be narrow. You need a slim, upright see-through. If that's your wall, the Tunnel 40x70, 16 7/8 inches wide and 27 9/16 inches tall, is the one. Wider tunnels need more wall than these rooms have.
What Makes It Special
The 40x70 tunnel is open to both faces of the wall, in Ortal's portrait shape, on the smallest burner, and it comes with a protective mesh screen.
Your stone or tile meets the fire with no trim in between, and Ortal's passive cool wall means the space above can hold a TV or a painting. Our estimate from Ortal's gas input puts its reach at roughly 600 to 1,200 square feet.
Skip the lighting and use the screen, and batteries alone can run it—it still lights when the power is out. Set a temperature on the included remote and it holds the room there on its own.
Possible Downsides
- It's the smallest tunnel; for a bit more width and the double-glass option, the Tunnel 60x80 is the next upright size.
- Natural gas is the factory setup; switching to propane means an Ortal conversion kit and an authorized technician.
If you want a slim see-through fire shared by two small rooms, the Tunnel 40x70 is the right decision. The bedroom and the bath both get the glow.
Configure it with an included log set—standard, driftwood, clay, or English—or a bonfire, campfire, aspen, or branch upgrade.

What's included in the online estimate?
The unit with the options you selected, a real vent kit matched to your venting, and the installation labor for a typical setup. Your free one-to-two-hour in-home visit confirms every detail before anything is ordered.
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 40H70 - 16x27 in a photo of your own room?
Yes. The Visualizer tab on this page renders the Ortal Tunnel TU 40H70 - 16x27 into a straight-on photo of your wall, scaled to the room, so you see it in your space before you price a thing. 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 40H70 - 16x27 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 40H70 - 16x27 yourselves?
Yes, both. Our own in-house installers set the Ortal Tunnel TU 40H70 - 16x27, 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.
