Why is it masculine?
Ralo is masculine because it derives from Latin "rarus" (meaning sparse or thin), which was an adjective. In Portuguese, "ralo" functions as both an adjective and a noun meaning "drain" (a kitchen utensil). The masculine gender was preserved through the phonetic evolution from Latin to Portuguese. Like most Portuguese nouns and adjectives ending in "-o," it inherited the masculine gender marker from Latin masculine forms.
