Should a Skuttle Bypass Flow-Thru Humidifier be mounted on the warm air or the cold air plenum?

Either option will work fine. Mounting a Bypass Flow-Thru Humidifier (Model 2000, 2100, 2001 or 2101) on the warm air supply or the cold air return plenum does not alter humidifier performance. In either location, air will flow from the warm air to the cold air side due to the positive and negative pressures of the heating system. Connect the humidifier to the opposite plenum using 6 in. (15.24 cm) round duct. NOTE: Mount the Model 2002 or 2102 Fan-Powered Flow-Thru Humidifier on the warm air plenum only.
