So I ran some CPVC pipe to a new toilet. I'm curious about the last hook up to the toilet. I got a threaded female chrome to thread on a male cpvc fitting, but it seems like the threads won't fit snug. Both are 1/2". Any ideas on how I should hook up the part going out of the wall to the toilet? I have a hose that should fit the chrome shutoff.

No to fillers. Also no to epoxy. Hire a plumber and get it fixed right. Small leaks, especially those at a sink, turn into rotten cabinets, rotten sub floor, smelly mildew, possibly mold and an unhappy spouse. Don't go cheap and regret it forever.
Assuming that your HWT connections are 3/4 MIP and starting from the tank working back the the pipe at the wall:
Cold Side
Hot Side
(No need for valve as the valve on the cold will isolate the hot)
No need to use these particular brands, they are just the first ones I found. All items should be available on Amazon or a local hardware store.

A metal stop valve attached to a CPVC pipe thread adapter is the correct transition. I agree the plastic male PT adapters seem to thread too far into equivalent female fittings, the resulting snugness seems unsatisfactory. Despite that, I've never had one leak. At least it's exposed and available for inspection and it's easy to disassemble for correction.
