No valves at faucets.  Pex comes straight out of the wall and is crimped 
onto an inexpensive fitting which screws directly onto the faucet tails. 

Why did you use Kitec?  I thought it was normally for use in systems 
that need an oxygen barrier, like a pressurized boiler heating system.

The items I bought came through my father's HVAC company with no 
markup.  Perhaps your source has significant markup?
