Ortal 40H70 (Signature Burner)

The Ortal 40H70 is a narrow, taller-than-wide direct vent gas fireplace. The name is the metric body size, 40 by 70 cm, so the glass is about 17 inches wide and 28 inches tall. Ortal's Signature burner is a long ribbon of flame rising from a bed of glass, pebbles or logs, which is the contemporary look most people picture when they think of a linear gas fireplace. It runs on natural gas or propane.

It is one of the smallest fireplaces Ortal makes. You can order it front facing, as a left or right corner, three sided or as a see-through between two rooms. It comes with a micro mesh protective screen front. The see-through version has glass on both long sides so the fire shows in two rooms.

Input and efficiency figures are Ortal's published ratings. How much warmth you feel depends on the room, the configuration, the venting and how the fireplace is set up.

Ortal fireplaces are built to order, so the configuration, heat barrier, interior and fire bed all get chosen before it ships. We measure the space, plan the vent run, confirm the clearances against the Ortal installation manual, and handle the install and the service afterward.
