Why is it masculine?

Tuyaux (pipe/tube) is masculine because it derives from the Old French "tuiau," which came from Latin "tubum" (tube), and Latin neuter nouns ending in "-um" typically became masculine in French during the language's evolution. This follows the general pattern where most French masculine nouns trace back to Latin masculine or neuter "-um" endings.
