Why is it feminine?

Tubería is feminine because it's derived from the Latin "tubus" (masculine) combined with the Spanish feminine suffix "-ería," which denotes a place, collection, or system of something, and this suffix consistently makes nouns feminine regardless of their root. The "-ería" suffix itself comes from Latin "-aria" (feminine), which is why words like "panadería" (bakery) and "carpintería" (carpentry) are all feminine.
